Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antoine de Baecque raconte ici un moment historique de notre culture, celui où bien manger est devenu un trait spécifique de l’identité des Français. La gastronomie française est née à Paris à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. En quelques décennies, elle a conquis le monde. Avec l’invention du restaurant en 1765, puis son essor au XIXe siècle, une partie de l’identité française tient désormais à la nourriture. Chacun sait, sur la planète, que le Français aime manger, qu’il mange bien et qu’il adore en parler. Et chacun sait que c'est à Paris que cela se passe. En 9 chapitres fluides et vivants, Antoine de Baecque nous fait rencontrer Mathurin Roze de Chantoiseau, le premier restaurateur ; La Reynière, le premier grand critique gastronomique ; Antoine Carême, le premier cuisinier vedette ; Brillat-Savarin, le premier grand intellectuel de la table ; ou encore Escoffier, le premier chef moderne de la cuisine française ; et nos apprend une foule de choses, par exemple sur la première bière pression (vendue chez Bofinger en 1870), sur l’association d’Escoffier et de César Ritz qui va révolutionner la cuisine et l’hôtellerie, sur les premiers "gourmets", ou encore sur le "procès de la sauce poulette", qui permit aux restaurateurs de gagner contre les traiteurs et les aubergistes la bataille de Paris.

Book excerpt: Le concert de louanges décernées par l'ensemble du monde à notre gastronomie, ajouté à l'intérêt des Français pour les plaisirs de la table, pose un réel problème historique et géographique: quand, comment et où a germé, fleuri et rayonné la haute cuisine à la française? Pourquoi dans l'Hexagone et non dans les autres pays européens (par exemple l'Italie), alors qu'il existe partout des produits de qualité, des mets de choix et des amateurs éclairés? Il importe de comprendre le processus séculaire qui _ à la faveur de l'aimable laxisme de l'Eglise en ce domaine et grâce aux modèles proposés par la Cour et la haute aristocratie puis la bourgeoisie _ a permis, depuis la Renaissance, à cette réputation de s'établir. Aujourd'hui, quelque peu endormis sur leurs lauriers, les Français auraient pourtant tort de se croire à jamais les meilleurs. Quelques douzaines de chefs de génie ne sauraient faire oublier ni la banalité et la pauvreté gustative qui menacent bien des tables familiales ni les assauts venus d'outre-Atlantique. Il faut éduquer le goût, inciter le secteur agro-alimentaire à rechercher la qualité et l'authenticité, faire reculer l'uniformité qu'engendre une productivité dévoyée. Que les Français se persuadent à nouveau de manger vrai, et ils guériront peut-être de la maladie de langueur qui les atteint parfois. Professeur de géographie à l'université de Paris-Sorbonne, Jean-Robert Pitte s'intéresse particulièrement aux phénomènes culturels dans leurs rapports avec l'espace. Parmi ses ouvrages, on peut citer l'Histoire du paysage français (1983) et Terres de Castanide, Hommes et paysages du châtaigner des origines à nos jours (Fayard, 1986).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1760s and 1770s, those who were sensitive and supposedly suffering made public show of their delicacy by going to the new establishments known as "restaurateurs' rooms" and sipping their bouillons there. However, the restaurants that had begun as purveyors of health food soon became sites for extending frugal, politically correct hospitality and later became symbols of aristocratic greed. From restoratives to Restoration, Spang establishes the restaurant at the very intersection of public and private in French culture--the first public place where people went to be private.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Louis Gottschalk Prize Winner of the Thomas J. Wilson Memorial Prize “Witty and full of fascinating details.” —Los Angeles Times Why are there restaurants? Why would anybody consider eating alongside perfect strangers in a loud and crowded room to be an enjoyable pastime? To find the answer, Rebecca Spang takes us back to France in the eighteenth century, when a restaurant was not a place to eat but a quasi-medicinal bouillon not unlike the bone broths of today. This is a book about the French revolution in taste—about how Parisians invented the modern culture of food, changing the social life of the world in the process. We see how over the course of the Revolution, restaurants that had begun as purveyors of health food became symbols of aristocratic greed. In the early nineteenth century, the new genre of gastronomic literature worked within the strictures of the Napoleonic state to transform restaurants yet again, this time conferring star status upon oysters and champagne. “An ambitious, thought-changing book...Rich in weird data, unsung heroes, and bizarre true stories.” —Adam Gopnik, New Yorker “[A] pleasingly spiced history of the restaurant.” —New York Times “A lively, engrossing, authoritative account of how the restaurant as we know it developed...Spang is...as generous in her helpings of historical detail as any glutton could wish.” —The Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi la France est-elle le royaume de la gastronomie ? Grâce à son terroir opulent si généreux. Dès la Renaissance, chaque région a sa spécialité, source de fierté, de rentabilité. Cette histoire de richesses et de voluptés commence dans les couvents qui seuls peuvent déchiffrer les manuscrits du cuisinier Apicius ou les Tables de Santé des médecins de Bagdad, arrivées en Espagne conquise par les Arabes. Les moines possèdent également les vignes. Rois et princes comprennent vite le pouvoir qu’ils peuvent tirer de ces nouveautés. Vatel provoque la jalousie de Louis XIV en mettant en scène les fêtes de Fouquet. Il est le premier de nos maîtres d’hôtel. Les petits soupers du XVIIIème participent au génie de l'époque avec la sauce Soubise aux oignons et la Béchamelle du marquis du même nom. Devant leurs fourneaux, les chefs écrivent les premiers livres de cuisine. La révolution met à la rue rôtisseurs et pâtissiers des grandes maisons, qui créent au Palais-Royal les premiers restaurants. Leurs clients sont les députés de la Constituante arrivés de Versailles. Talleyrand lance le génial Carême, qui écrit après Waterloo les premiers livres de pâtisserie du monde, crée la toque et ouvre la porte à la grande cuisine du XIXème à des chefs comme Escoffier. Derrière ces génies se tient souvent une grand-mère. Les lyonnaises prennent, elles, le pouvoir des casseroles avec la mère Brazier, première femme à obtenir ses trois étoiles Michelin en 1933. Les Bocuse, les Chapel, avec Michel Gérard, jettent les bases de la nouvelle cuisine, cette gastronomie française sans cesse réinventée jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris has played a unique role in world gastronomy, influencing cooks and gourmets across the world. It has served as a focal point not only for its own cuisine, but for regional specialties from across France. For tourists, its food remains one of the great attractions of the city itself. Yet the history of this food remains largely unknown. A History of the Food of Paris brings together archaeology, historical records, memoirs, statutes, literature, guidebooks, news items, and other sources to paint a sweeping portrait of the city’s food from the Neanderthals to today’s bistros and food trucks. The colorful history of the city’s markets, its restaurants and their predecessors, of immigrant food, even of its various drinks appears here in all its often surprising variety, revealing new sides of this endlessly fascinating city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This we can be sure of: when a restaurant in the western world is famous for its cooking, it is the tricolor flag that hangs above the stove, opined one French magazine, and this is by no means an isolated example of such crowing. Indeed, both linguistically and conceptually, the restaurant itself is a French creation. Why are the French recognized by themselves and others the world over as the most enlightened of eaters, as the great gourmets? Why did the passion for food—gastronomy—originate in France? In French Gastronomy, geographer and food lover Jean-Robert Pitte uncovers a novel answer. The key, it turns out, is France herself. In her climate, diversity of soils, abundant resources, and varied topography lie the roots of France's food fame. Pitte masterfully reveals the ways in which cultural phenomena surrounding food and eating in France relate to space and place. He points out that France has some six hundred regions, or microclimates, that allow different agricultures, to flourish, and fully navigable river systems leading from peripheral farmlands directly to markets in the great gastronomic centers of Paris and Lyon. With an eye to this landscape, Pitte wonders: Would the great French burgundies enjoy such prestige if the coast they came from were not situated close to the ancient capital for the dukes and a major travel route for medieval Europe? Yet for all the shaping influence of earth and climate, Pitte demonstrates that haute cuisine, like so much that is great about France, can be traced back to the court of Louis XIV. It was the Sun King's regal gourmandise—he enacted a nightly theater of eating, dining alone but in full view of the court—that made food and fine dining a central affair of state. The Catholic Church figures prominently as well: gluttony was regarded as a "benign sin" in France, and eating well was associated with praising God, fraternal conviviality, and a respect for the body. These cultural ingredients, in combination with the bounties of the land, contributed to the full flowering of French foodways. This is a time of paradox for French gourmandism. Never has there been so much literature published on the subject of culinary creativity, never has there been so much talk about good food, and never has so little cooking been done at home. Each day new fast-food places open. Will French cuisine lose its charm and its soul? Will discourse become a substitute for reality? French Gastronomy is a delightful celebration of what makes France unique, and a call to everyone who loves French food to rediscover its full flavor.
Download or read book France 1814 1914 written by Robert Tombs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an incomparably rich portrait of France in the years when the disparate elements that made up the fragmented kingdom of the ancien regime were forged into the modern nation. The survey begins with an exploration of national obsessions and attitudes. It considers the tendency to revolution and war, the preoccupation with the idea of a New Order and the deep strain of national paranoia that was to be intensified by the dramatic debacle of the Franco-Prussian War. Robert Tombs then investigates the structures of power and in Part Three he turns his attention to social identities, from the individual and family to the nation at large. When every aspect of the period has been put under the microscope, Robert Tombs draws them all into the broad political narrative that brings the book to its rousing conclusion. Bursting with life as well as learning, this is, quite simply, a tour de force.

Book excerpt: What happens when tourists scream with fear, shout with anger and frustration, weep with joy and delight, or even faint in the face of revealed beauty? How can certain sites affect some tourists so deeply that they require hospitalisation and psychiatric treatment? What are the inner contours of tourist experience and how does it relate to specific emotional cultures? What are the consequences of the emotional cultures of tourists upon destinations? How are differences in emotional culture mobilized and played out in the transnational contact zones of international tourism? While many books have engaged with the structural frames of tourist practice and experience, this is the first to deal with the emotional dimensions of tourism, travel and contact and the ways in which they can transform tourists, destinations and travel cultures through emotional engagements. The book brings together an international array of scholars from anthropology, psychiatry, history, cultural geography and critical tourism studies to explore how the movement to, and through, the realms of exotic people, wild natures, subliminal art, spirit worlds, metropolitan cities and sexualised 'others' variably provoke emotions, peak experiences, travel syndromes and inner dialogues. The authors show how tourism challenges us to engage with concepts of self, other, time, nature, sex, the body and death. Through a set of ethnographic and historic cases, they demonstrate that such engagements usually have little to do with the actual destination but rather, are deeply anchored in personal memories, repressed fears and desires, and the collective imaginaries of our societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auberges, bouillons, cafés, brasseries, bistrots, " étoilés "... Plongez au cœur de dix siècles d'une histoire savoureuse : celle du Paris culinaire. Paris est incontestablement la capitale de la gastronomie. Mais qui sait comment cette réputation s'est construite année après année ? Comment se sont progressivement créés les restaurants et les meilleures tables ? Pourquoi les plus grands chefs ont-ils été attirés par cette ville ? Dès le Moyen Âge, la ville est un grand centre de consommation et un important marché alimentaire. Alors que les halles centrales symbolisent le " ventre de Paris ", un artisanat de bouche raffiné s'y développe progressivement. À l'orée de la Renaissance, la capitale est perçue comme une cité de cocagne et donne le ton du bien manger et du bien boire. Elle devient vite le lieu des débats et des révolutions culinaires : on y intellectualise la cuisine, on y crée une nouvelle littérature gourmande, on y invente le restaurant. Petit à petit, l'art de la " bonne chère " est érigé en dogme et Paris devient la capitale mondiale des gourmets. Désormais cosmopolite et dotée d'un rayonnement international, la Ville Lumière est à la pointe de l'innovation : après avoir fait émerger la " nouvelle cuisine " dans les années 1970 et la bistronomie au cours des années 2000, elle réinvente et modernise la gastronomie (grâce aux food trucks et autres " prêts à manger ") depuis les années 2010. Des premiers " petits pâtés " à la parisienne achetés à des marchands ambulants à la création d'institutions iconiques ( Le Dôme, La Coupole, La Closerie des Lilas, etc.) en passant par l'invention des célèbres " bouillons parisiens ", cet ouvrage basé sur une recherche approfondie et inédite nous offre l'histoire riche et méconnue d'un Paris gourmand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Divided into two volumes, The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law, Politics, and Human Nature offers a landmark collection of writings from twenty Christian thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and analyses of their work by leading contemporary religious scholars.With selections from the works of Jacques Maritain, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Dorothy Day, Pope John Paul II, Susan B. Anthony, Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Reinhold Niebuhr, Martin Luther King Jr., Nikolai Berdyaev, Vladimir Lossky, and others, Volume 2 illustrates the different venues, vectors, and sometimes-conflicting visions of what a Christian understanding of law, politics, and society entails. The collection includes works by popes, pastors, nuns, activists, and theologians writing from within the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian traditions. Addressing racism, totalitarianism, sexism, and other issues, many of the figures in this volume were the victims of church censure, exile, imprisonment, assassination, and death in Nazi concentration camps. These writings amplify the long and diverse tradition of modern Christian social thought and its continuing relevance to contemporary pluralistic societies. The volume speaks to questions regarding the nature and purpose of law and authority, the limits of rule and obedience, the care and nurture of the needy and innocent, the rights and wrongs of war and violence, and the separation of church and state. The historical focus and ecumenical breadth of this collection fills an important scholarly gap and revives the role of Christian social thought in legal and political theory.The first volume of The Teachings of Modern Christianity on Law Politics, and Human Nature includes essays by leading contemporary religious scholars, exploring the ideas, influences, and intellectual and cultural contexts of the figures from this volume.
