Raymond Oliver was the master of the great Paris restaurant, Le Grand Vefour, and owner of one of the world's finest libraries of rare gastronomic books and manuscripts. For this fascinating volume he has written a sociology of taste. It is not a cookbook, though it contains many recipes, but an illustrated social history of the French at Table, an outline of the centuries and civilizations. As well as being the historian of the classic kitchen, Oliver records for the first time what was eaten by the peasantry, the townsmen, and the 'poor clerks' and scholars like Alcuin and Abelard. Illustrated throughout by colour and b/w plates, classic paintings and food photography.

When 'Papissa Joanna' was first published in Athens in 1886 it created a sensation. The book was banned and its author excommunicated. It nevertheless brought him immediate fame and the work established itself securely in the history of modern Greek literature. Subsequently Durrell, created a masterpiece in its own right, a dazzling concoction presented with the deftest touch.
