YOUR LOVE FOR FOOOD BRINGS YOU HERE
The Historical Cooking Project began as a culinary history website but has branched into food studies more generally. It is a space where scholars write about their work both for academic and non-academic audiences. We aim to make food studies accessible. As we approach our five year anniversary, we have been thinking about how to preserve this resource.

Some people will tell you it's impossible to express this topic in exact timeline format. They are correct. Most foods we eat are not invented: they evolve.
