Biographical or Historical Information

The exhibition "Culinary Memory" held an opening reception in January 28, 2017 at the Horace Sturgis Library in Kennesaw State University. This exhibit "uses Brillat-Savarin's The Physiology of Taste: Or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy as a starting point from which to explore the history of the cookbook. It also draws upon Salvador Dali's Les Dîners de Gala cookbook, which uses a very different approach to discuss the pleasures of the table. By organizing both under the themes found in The Physiology of Taste, this exhibition walks visitors through the history of food writing and its relationship to our changing cultural understanding of food and cooking."
