A Philosophy of Recipes: Making, Experiencing, and Valuing

Editat de Andrea Borghini, Patrik Engisch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2023
This volume addresses the nature and identity of recipes from a cross-disciplinary perspective. Contributors study the values and norms guiding the naming, production, and consumption of recipes, scrutinizing their relationship to territory, makers, eaters, and places of production. Along the road, they uncover the multifaceted conceptual and value-laden questions that a study of recipes raises regarding cultural appropriation and the interplay between aesthetics and ethics in recipe making.With contributors specializing in philosophy, law, anthropology, sociology, history, and other disciplines, this volume will be of vital importance for those looking to understand the complex nature of food and the way recipes have shaped culinary cultures throughout history.

Recenzii

A diverse and rich collection that will serve as inspirational reading for both the philosopher and non-philosopher alike.
The philosophy of food is hot at the moment, but this book goes beyond the usual fare by suggesting-and indeed demonstrating-that recipes should be an item of central philosophical concern. Cross-disciplinary but without losing philosophical focus, this collection argues that recipes reflect our metaphysical and ethical commitments in unique and profound ways.
A fascinating collection of essays that explore not only what recipes are, but also what recipes do, and how they mediate and shape our relationship to food and cooking.
As more scholars recognize what rich sources recipes are for understanding human societies, this edited collection of meditations on the theme will be a very useful guide. The central question of how to think with recipes is answered beautifully and diversely here in a book that engages with all kinds of parameters, including law, cooking tools, and microbial motivations.
