Vin et gastronomie : Regards croisés (French edition) by Olivier Jacquet & Jocelyne Pérard

Gastronomy is much more than just cooking. It is an art of living, a know-how that is passed down from generation to generation. This book, "Wine and Gastronomy: Crossed Views," edited by Olivier Jacquet and Jocelyne Pérard, delves into the essential question: what role does wine play in this culinary art?

The book explores the historical and cultural links between wine and gastronomy, from the Middle Ages to the present day. It highlights the importance of wine in the art of tasting and pairing with dishes, questioning the role of wine in what is known as "good eating".

By combining contributions from recognized specialists, this book takes us on a journey through the centuries to understand how the consumption norms of wine and gastronomy have evolved. It also examines the key influencers and actors who have contributed to the development of current standards of "good drinking" and "good eating". The chapters help to better understand the new territories of gastronomy and wine, as well as the tourism and economic issues that arise from them.

Today, the rise of gastronomic tourism and wine routes underscores how these two elements are cultural and economic drivers. Through this book, the reader is invited to explore the richness and diversity of the relationships between gastronomy and wine, two intertwined and inseparable worlds that continue to shape contemporary eating practices.

This book is a valuable resource for wine enthusiasts, gastronomy lovers, and anyone interested in the cultural history of these two disciplines.
