Gastronomy- (1) The study of food (2) The
science to art of good eating
A few resources that I constantly use to research gastronomy are listed below.
The Food Timeline
A great timeline on the history of man and food going back to caveman times. Great resource and definitions of foodstuffs and when they became important to mankind.
Feeding America: The Historic American Cookbook Project
A collection of classic cookbooks on American cookery archived by the Michigan State Library. It has provided me many sleepless nights and hours of enjoyment. Browse through this collection for your gastronomic enjoyment. Most of the offerings are available to view in PDF.
Los Angeles Public Library Menu Collection
A collection of searchable restaurant menus by cuisine, date, and restaurant. Check it out to view vintage menus.
