About this ebook
Brillat-Savarin found his true passion in gastronomy, asserting that "the discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star." In his sparkling anecdotal style, he offers witty meditations on the senses, the science of gastronomy, the erotic virtue of truffles, hunting wild turkeys in America, Parisian restaurants, the history of cooking, corpulence, diets, the best ways of making coffee and chocolate, and a hundred other engaging topics. He also shares some of his best recipes, including tunny omelette, pheasant, and Swiss fondue. No cook, chef, gourmet, or lover of fine food should miss this landmark in the gastronomic literature, a timeless work that has charmed and informed two centuries of epicures.
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755–1826) held several notable positions including lawyer, teacher and politician. Yet, he’s best known for his passion and promotion of the culinary arts. Born in France, Brillat-Savarin studied highbrow subjects like medicine and law but was captivated by cooking. In an effort to elevate gastronomy, he released his most famous work--Physiology of Taste. Published in 1825, it was the first book of its kind to explore the mental, physical and emotional connection of food.
