Book excerpt: Be it a birthday or a wedding—let them eat cake. Encased in icing, crowned with candles, emblazoned with congratulatory words—cake is the ultimate food of celebration in many cultures around the world. But how did cake come to be the essential food marker of a significant occasion? In Cake: A Global History, Nicola Humble explores the meanings, legends, rituals, and symbolism attached to cake through the ages. Humble describes the many national differences in cake-making techniques, customs, and regional histories—from the French gâteau Paris-Brest, named for a cycle race and designed to imitate the form of a bicycle wheel, to the American Lady Baltimore cake, likely named for a fictional cake in a 1906 novel by Owen Wister. She also details the role of cake in literature, art, and film—including Miss Havisham’s imperishable wedding cake in Great Expectations and Marcel Proust’s madeleine of memory—as well as the art and architecture of cake making itself. Featuring a large selection of mouthwatering images, as well as many examples and recipes for some particularly unusual cakes, Cake will provide many sweet reasons for celebration.

Book excerpt: "Flint Hills Cook Book" is a recipe book compiled by the women of Christ Church Parish, Burlington, Iowa. The preface explains, " There is a custom, hoary with the accumulated dust of ages, originating many a long century ago, in a certain, but now extinct "garden," of which we all know more or less, viz: That man will and must eat. Out of the helplessness of man there has grown another custom, equally old, (some say even older) that women shall set before him that which shall satisfy man's hunger. From that day to this women have vied with one another for pre-eminence in culinary art. Now any man will tell you that in this art, there has been vouchsafed to some a greater measure of perfection than to others. With this thought in mind, it has been the effort of the compilers to gather together and set forth in the pages of this book the proudest achievements of the best cooks to be found among the women of Christ Church Parish and others of the city of Burlington, Iowa."
