ML 2300 French Gastronomy
- MWF 11:50 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.
- 3 credits
- Starting with the creation of the restaurant in Paris in the 19th century, the course examines the development of French gastronomy as described in the literature of the time, as well as its encoding in food texts. This course analyzes the specificity of French food and French concepts such as “terroir.” It examines the evolution of French gastronomy, its increasing importance in French culture, and its influence worldwide. Students explore the underlying reasons for the changes in French gastronomy as well as the French reactions to these changes. Throughout the semester, we explore renowned French products, their history and evolution as well as their place in the French gastronomic tradition.
