Some of the world’s most adventurous food historians contribute to this thrice-yearly journal of articles and excerpts from works in progress. The emphasis is on plain writing rather than jargon. In these early issues you are able to see food studies begin to establish itself as a discipline as the tenor of reviews evolve, and calls for contributors and conferences proliferate. Among the articles in this issue from December 1991. Manifold Absurdity - Rose Arnold The Pontefract Liquorice Industry - Anon The Rise and Fall of Home-made Anglo-American Tomato Ketchup - Andrew F. Smith New Light on Edward Kidder’s Receipts - Simon Varey A Frisian Kitchen - Joop Witteveen Mittened Invaders from the Orient (A psudeo-review of a Dutch book on crustaceans) As always, there are book reviews as well. Paperback.
