Menus from History: The Book.

I am delighted to announce that I have signed a contract with Greenwood Publishing Group for a book on historic menus. The anticipated title is MENUS FROM HISTORY: Historic Meals with Recipes and Commentary for Every Day of the Year.

As the title suggests, the book will include a menu for each day of the year for an actual meal that took place on that exact day, with at least one recipe from the era. The menus will cover many centuries of dining around the world, from ancient Rome to today, from palaces to prisons, during war and peace, and aboard ships and planes and trains, from breakfasts to banquets and picnics.Many famous people and many interesting foods will appear, and all sorts of habits and traditions revealed.

What fun!
