Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this special edition of Food and Foodways is to examine the cookbook in a fresh light. Previous criticism of cookbooks has concentrated on how the cookbook reflects history, culture and social patterns of behavior. Cookbook criticism has revealed important food histories, unearthed significant cultural phenomena, and demonstrated new ways of understanding social connections and behaviors. This has ranged from recording courtly cuisines to the output of celebrity television chefs, and from the manuals of domestic science movements to individual, personal attachments to cookbooks. The essays in this special edition, however, consider the cookbook as a responsive form, as texts which galvanize or intervene or even resist cultural contexts. Each of the articles considers how a cookbook or small group of closely-related genre cookbooks has answered a set of circumstances. More than holding a mirror to society and culture, these cookbooks are shown to be culturally responsive too.

食谱作为一种回应形式

本期《美食与美食之道》特别版的目的是以一种全新的视角来审视烹饪书。以前对食谱的批评主要集中在食谱如何反映历史、文化和社会行为模式上。烹饪书评论揭示了重要的食物历史，发掘了重要的文化现象，并展示了理解社会联系和行为的新方法。这包括从记录宫廷烹饪到名人电视厨师的输出，从家庭科学运动的手册到个人的，个人的依恋到烹饪书。然而，本期特别版的文章将烹饪书视为一种响应形式，作为激发或干预甚至抵制文化背景的文本。每篇文章都考虑了一本烹饪书或一小组密切相关的类型烹饪书是如何回答一系列情况的。这些食谱不仅是反映社会和文化的一面镜子，而且也反映了文化的变化。

期刊介绍： Food and Foodways is a refereed, interdisciplinary, and international journal devoted to publishing original scholarly articles on the history and culture of human nourishment. By reflecting on the role food plays in human relations, this unique journal explores the powerful but often subtle ways in which food has shaped, and shapes, our lives socially, economically, politically, mentally, nutritionally, and morally. Because food is a pervasive social phenomenon, it cannot be approached by any one discipline. We encourage articles that engage dialogue, debate, and exchange across disciplines.
