We eat to fulfill nutritional and cultural needs as well as for simple enjoyment. Food and drink be it novel or traditional has long shaped how humans relate to each other. This course aims to explore the world of food from a historical perspective combining theoretical and practical approaches to understanding what we eat. This course will demonstrate how food is instrumental to the formation of identity through the study of gender, colonization, religion and nationalism. The growing popularity of food history in recent years has led us to seek a deeper understanding of our dietary choices in order to better comprehend how we construct the social categories and economic systems, which shape the world we live in today. Students will make use of active learning techniques combining cooking, tasting and discussion through the use of photo-journals and exams.

Course Structure: This course is structured as half theory and half practice. As such, students should expect to spend the first half of each class learning about food history and the second half of the class cooking historical dishes. Students taking this course will learn some basic cooking techniques as well as kitchen safety practices. A variety of recipe choices ranging in complexity will be offered to students in order to accommodate different levels of culinary knowledge.

Ingredients and Material: Cooking is a necessary component of this course. As such, students are expected to budget a sum of roughly fifty dollars for the purchasing of ingredients and materials over the course of the semester. In order to offset these costs, attempts have been made to keep course readings as accessible and inexpensive as possible.

Students will be required to purchase the ingredients for their recipe

Students will make use of active learning techniques combining cooking, tasting and discussion through the use of photo-journals and exams.

Course Structure: This course is structured as half theory and half practice. As such, students should expect to spend the first half of each class learning about food history and the second half of the class cooking historical dishes. Students taking this course will learn some basic cooking techniques as well as kitchen safety practices. A variety of recipe choices ranging in complexity will be offered to students in order to accommodate different levels of culinary knowledge.

We eat to fulfill nutritional and cultural needs as well as for simple enjoyment. Food and drink be it novel or traditional has long shaped how humans relate to each other. This course aims to explore the world of food from a historical perspective combining theoretical and practical approaches to understanding what we eat. This course will demonstrate how food is instrumental to the formation of identity through the study of gender, colonization, religion and nationalism. The growing popularity of food history in recent years has led us to seek a deeper understanding of our dietary choices in order to better comprehend how we construct the social categories and economic systems, which shape the world we live in today. Students will make use of active learning techniques combining cooking, tasting and discussion through the use of photo-journals and exams.

Course Structure: This course is structured as half theory and half practice. As such, students should expect to spend the first half of each class learning about food history and the second half of the class cooking historical dishes. Students taking this course will learn some basic cooking techniques as well as kitchen safety practices. A variety of recipe choices ranging in complexity will be offered to students in order to accommodate different levels of culinary knowledge.

Ingredients and Material: Cooking is a necessary component of this course. As such, students are expected to budget a sum of roughly fifty dollars for the purchasing of ingredients and materials over the course of the semester. In order to offset these costs, attempts have been made to keep course readings as accessible and inexpensive as possible.

Students will be required to purchase the ingredients for their recipe
