“A Feast for the Senses” and other writings is a collection of mostly short stories, along with a few poems, including prose poems, written over the last decade or so. The title story, based in pre-pandemic (2019) southwestern Oregon, is set primarily in a glass blowing company, one that is adjacent to a brewpub, and it features, among other things, an improvised enactment of an imaginary theatre piece featuring Vincent van Gogh and his good friend Paul Gauguin, along with a few “cameo” appearances by Vincent’s brother Theo. The longest work in the collection is a short story called “The Set,” which explores the building of a movie set based on a rather famous Biblical story. Throughout this collection, the emphasis is on a thick, rich, resonant use of language that brings up multiple meanings and many “things which can’t be said” all that easily.

"The late medieval world was marked by a culture of refinement and sophistication. The period's media of choice--paintings, manuscripts, prints, tapestries, embroideries, ivory sculpture, metalwork, and enamels--speak volumes about the pleasures of sensory engagement. This sumptuous new book brings together sacred and secular art to reveal the shared intellectual culture that governed perception in Europe in the 13th through the 16th centuries. The essays explore these themes through representations of religious practices, royal rituals, feasts and celebrations, music, and literature"--

Download Food History Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This pioneering book elevates the senses to a central role in the study of food history because the traditional focus upon food types, quantities, and nutritional values is incomplete without some recognition of smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste. Eating is a sensual experience. Every day and at every meal the senses of smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste are engaged in the acts of preparation and consumption. And yet these bodily acts are ephemeral; their imprint upon the source material of history is vestigial. Hitherto historians have shown little interest in the senses beyond taste, and this book fills that research gap. Four dimensions are treated: • Words, Symbols and Uses: Describing the Senses – an investigation of how specific vocabularies for food are developed. • Industrializing the Senses – an analysis of the fundamental change in the sensory qualities of foods under the pressure of industrialization and economic forces outside the control of the household and the artisan producer. • Nationhood and the Senses – an exploration of how the combination of the senses and food play into how nations saw themselves, and how food was a signature of how political ideologies played out in practical, everyday terms. • Food Senses and Globalization – an examination of links between food, the senses, and the idea of international significance. Putting all of the senses on the agenda of food history for the first time, this is the ideal volume for scholars of food history, food studies and food culture, as well as social and cultural historians. Putting all of the senses on the agenda of food history for the first time, this is the ideal volume for scholars of food history, food studies and food culture, as well as social and cultural historians.

Skeleton Key to a Poetry Collection You’ve Never Heard Of (Until Now) and other essays is a collection of essays, written by me over the last few years or so, and originally published on the Medium.com website. One focus of this collection of essays is ultimately the celebration of our shared cultural heritage, worldwide, with a view toward how we can embrace and encourage the best abilities that each of us, individually and collectively and cooperatively, have to offer. While a main focus of these essays is the (until now) rather obscure poetry collection of mine entitled Etymologicon, with a special nod to its genesis from multiple meanings of a single word (“quarry”), many other topics are covered, as well.

The banquet gives rise to a special moment when thought and the senses—words and food—enhance each other. Throughout history, the ideal of the symposium has reconciled the angel and the beast in the human, renewing the interdependence between the mouth that speaks and the mouth that eats. Michel Jeanneret's lively book explores the paradigm of the banquet as a guide to significant tendencies in Renaissance Humanist culture and shows how this culture in turn illuminates the tensions between physical and mental pleasures. Ranging widely over French, Italian, German, and Latin texts, Jeanneret not only investigates the meal as a narrative artefact but enquires as well into aspects of sixteenth-century anthropology and aesthetics.

Feast is written to stand alongside Nigella’s classic and best loved book, How to Eat. Comprehensive and informed, this stunning new book will be equally at home in the kitchen or on the bedside table. A feast for both the eyes and the senses, written with Nigella Lawson’s characteristic flair and passion, Feast: Food that Celebrates Life is a major book in the style of her classic How to Eat, applying Nigella’s “Pleasures and Principles of Good Food” to the celebrations and special occasions of life. Essentially about families and food, about public holidays and private passions, about how to celebrate the big occasions and the small everyday pleasures — those times when food is more than just fuel — Feast takes us through Christmas, Thanksgiving and birthdays, to Passover and a special Sardinian Easter; from that first breakfast together to a meal fit for the in-laws; from seasonal banquets of strawberries or chestnuts to the ultimate chocolate cake; from food for cheering up the “Unhappy Hour” to funeral baked-meats; from a Georgian feast to a love-fest; from Nigella’s all-time favourite dish to a final New Year fast. Evocative, gorgeous, refreshingly uncomplicated and full of ideas, Feast proclaims Nigella’s love of life and great food with which to celebrate it. Packed with over 200 recipes from all over the world — and from near home — with helpful menus for whole meals, and more than 120 colour photographs, Feast is destined to become a classic.

Marines jokingly say that "every day is a holiday, and every meal is a feast" in the Corps, but we all know there is more to it than that. And no, I don't mean "every formation is a parade, and every paycheck is a fortune!" Being a Marine is a tough, but rewarding, way of life, and this fourth installment in the "Sea Stories" series takes a look at a lot of those times - along with a liberal dose of knuckleheads and common sense. If you liked the first three, you'll like this one too!
