"This is the updated version of Willan's extraordinary classic--the first history of 14 European and American chefs and cooks who turned culinary skills into a high art form...tells the stories of the backgrounds, the experiences, successes and failures of such experts as Martino (fl. 1450-1475), an Italian cook who was the first to get his recipes in print...Chefs such as Leonardi and Careme worked in the royal courts of Europe and are a record of grandeur and sophistication, while the likes of Mrs .Beeton and Amelia Simmons directed their teachings to the niceties of household management and more straightforward recipes for home cooking. Contemporary paintings, etchings and drawings have been carefully selected to bring this book alive."
