In the Kitchen insists that the preparation of food, whether imaginative, physical, or spatial, is central to a deeper understanding of early modern food cultures and practices. Devoted to the arts of cooking and medicine, early modern kitchens concentrated on producing, processing, and preserving materials necessary for nourishment and survival; yet they also fed social and economic networks and nurtured a sense of physical, spiritual, and political connection to surrounding lands and their cultures. The essays in this volume illuminate this expansive view of cooking and aspire to show how the kitchen's inner workings prove tightly, though often invisibly, interwoven with local, national, and, increasingly, global surroundings. Engaging with literary and historical methodologies, including close reading, recipe analysis, and perspectives on gender, class, race, and colonialism, we begin to develop a shared theoretical and practical language for the art of cooking that combines the physical with the intellectual, the local with the global, and the domestic with the political.

Das Buch erschließt den Lesern die Küche als zentralen Wohnraum des häuslichen Lebens. Die Autorinnen und Autoren untersuchen die Küche - nachdem sie seit den 90er Jahren als modisch-repräsentatives Designobjekt ins Zentrum rückte - in Bezug auf ihre architektonischen, kulturellen, sozialen sowie ökonomischen Bedeutungen. Vorgestellt werden wichtige Entwicklungstendenzen und wegweisende Küchenkonzepte der letzten Jahrzehnte (Frankfurter Küche, Normküchen, Wohnküchen), planerische Grundlagen, aktuellste Trends, die sich wandelnden Bedürfnisse heutiger Benutzer an den Küchenraum (Patchworkfamilien, Singlehaushalte) sowie kulinarische Aspekte. Kurz: Ein Buch, das in keiner Küche des 21. Jahrhunderts fehlen sollte! Unsere neue Buchreihe Edition Wohnen stellt ausgewählte Themen aus dem weiten Feld des Wohnens kurz und übersichtlich vor. Sie richtet sich sowohl an allgemein kulturinteressierte Leserinnen und Leser als auch an Fachleute. Die Reihe wird herausgegeben vom ETH Wohnforum Zürich. The kitchen is regaining its role as the central living space in home life. Since the 1990s the kitchen has moved into the fashion and design spotlight, and this publication now examines and reviews its significance in an architectural, cultural, social and economical context. The authors and contributors look at important developments and revolutionary kitchen concepts of the last decades including standardised kitchens and open kitchenliving spaces; they also review design basics, current trends, the changing demands posed by patch-work families or single person households. Even culinary aspects are included. This is a book which should certainly have its place in every 21st century kitchen. Our new book series "Living concepts" presents clearly and concisely selected topics relating to aspects of the home. It is aimed at general readers as well as specialists, and edited by the ETH Wohnforum Zurich.

More Than Bread examines life in the dining room of the Tabernacle Soup Kitchen, located in Middle City in a New England state. What happens when one hundred guests, which include single mothers, drug addicts, alcoholics, the mentally ill, and the chronically unemployed, representing diverse age groups and ethnicities, come together in the dining room for several hours each day? Irene Glasser challenges the popular assumption that soup kitchens function primarily to provide food for the hungry by refocusing our attention on the social aspects of the dining room. The soup kitchen
