About this book
Gastronomy gets a history of its own in this volume, which follows eating and entertaining from ancient days to 1902. George H. Ellwanger says plainly that he is not adding another manual of practical cookery. He gathers anecdotes, writings and views from many periods instead, and sketches the literature of the table, its schools and its best-known cooks. A few recipes appear, along with his opinions on the art of arranging dinners and the hygiene of the table. Ellwanger also wrote on gardens and on gout, and the book was published in New York.
