Mediterraneo or Shelley and the Revolution in Taste

Mediterraneo: Delicious Dishes from the Mediterranean

Author: Clare Ferguson

Mediterraneo is an irresistible collection of some of the best dishes from Italy, Spain, Greece, and the South of France. Try Appetizers such as Catalan Chickpea Salad, Spanish Tortilla (omelet) de Patata, and Greek Saganaki (pans of melted cheese with crusty bread). Delicious Entrees include La Cassola (a fish soup from Sorrento), Camargue Chicken with Red Rice, Spanish Paella, Spanish Duck with Olives, and Pork Tenderloin with Marsala. The Mediterranean is known for its Pasta, Bread, and Pizza, such as Fougasse, Neapolitan Pizza, Pesto alla Genovese with pasta or gnocchi, Penne with Tomatoes and Mozzarella, or Pappardelle with Basil Oil. Delicious Salads and Vegetables include Insalata Misticanza, Pickled Bean Salad from Provence, Salade Nicoise, and Greek Papoutsakias (baked eggplant with cheese). Then, try Clare's Sweet Things such as Tarte aux Citrons (lemon tart), Kourambiedes (Greek shortbread), Semifreddo al Tiramisu, Panna Cotta with Rose Petal Syrup, or Bitter Chocolate and Hazelnut Gelato. A useful list of websites and mail order sources will help track down interesting suppliers of ingredients, herb seeds, and other Mediterranean items.

Shelley and the Revolution in Taste: The Body and the Natural World

Author: Timothy Morton

This groundbreaking study addresses the representation of food and drink in the works of Percy and Mary Shelley. With original studies of much-debated texts, it provides new perspectives in recent cultural history and theory concerning medicine and diet in the 1790SH1820 period. Morton shows how food in the social and literary text provided complex and ambivalent ways of signaling ideological preferences. It will appeal to all those interested in the body, ecology and social and anthropological approaches to Romantic literature.
