Krátky popis
Tracing its earliest incarnations in the city of Pompeii, where
Sitwell is stunned by the sophistication of the dining scene, this
is a romp through history as we meet the characters and discover
the events that shape the way we eat today. Sitwell, restaurant
critic for The Telegraph and famous for his acerbic criticisms on
the hit BBC show MasterChef, tackles this enormous subject with his
typical wit and precision. He spies influences from an ancient
traveller of the Muslim world, revels in the unintended
consequences for nascent fine dining of the French Revolution,
reveals in full hideous glory the post-Second World War dining
scene in the UK and fathoms the birth of sensitive gastronomy in
the US counterculture of the 1960s.This is a story of the ingenuity
of the human race as individuals endeavour to do that most
fundamental of things: to feed people. It is a story of art,
politics, revolution, desperate need and decadent pleasure.
Sitwell, a familiar face in the UK and a figure known for the
controversy he attracts, provides anyone who loves to dine out, or
who loves history, or who simply loves a good read with an
accessible and humorous history.The Restaurant is jam-packed with
extraordinary facts, a book to read eagerly from start to finish or
to spend glorious moments dipping in to. It may be William
Sitwell's History of Eating Out, but it's also the definitive story
of one of the cornerstones of our culture.
