Mutfaktarih

Cuisine and food culture are intertwined with social history. It carries many hidden and obvious traces from social, economic and political history. Rethinking the vast terrain ranging from food classification to cooking techniques, from kitchen architecture to table setting and etiquette, together with its political and social aspects, provides interesting clues and essential information about societies and their cultures. Culinary history first focuses on local examples: It focuses on how eating and drinking habits transformed, the national cuisine fiction, pork debates, and the stages of presenting culinary culture in refined forms. Then, it draws a rich framework by focusing on the international culinary culture transformed through wars and propaganda, nutritional regimes, calorie and statistics debates, the developing tactics of diplomacy around the table, and how the state intervenes in the cuisine. "These are articles that try to open windows from history to the kitchen, from the kitchen to history, and to get a panoramic view as much as they can by hanging from the windows they open. They touch on many subheadings such as war, diplomacy, propaganda, gender, nationalism, consumer society, tourism, population, religion. Food "They try to deal with these themes based on culinary culture and trace the relationship and interaction between them and the kitchen."
