{"product_id":"9781544609164","title":"The Physiology Of Taste - 9781544609164","description":"ince its completion in 1825, this handbook has appeared in so many different guises - from 1889's Gastronomy as a Fine Art to The Philosopher in the Kitchen in 1970 - that much of its wisdom has become idiomatic. Brillat-Savarin was, for example, the first to coin the phrase: -You are what you eat- - item four in a long list of -Aphorisms of the Professor- intended as -a lasting foundation for the science of gastronomy-. In fact, Brillat was no professor, but a judge who often worked on his magnum opus while presiding in court. His life (1755-1826) spanned perhaps the most turbulent period of France's history. It would be hard to place this book, which meanders from ruminations on the -inconveniences of obesity- to the philosophical history of cooking, in any one genre; it is perhaps best characterised as an intimate account of a man's passionate relationship with food. -The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a star, - Brillat insists and furthermore: -The destiny of nations depends on how they nourish themselves.-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eBrillat Savarin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMar 10, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e160 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1544609167\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781544609164\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50353436655921,"sku":"9781544609164","price":13.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781544609164__23431.jpg?v=1732310535","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781544609164","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
