Boni and Liveright, 1928. Hardcover. Good. 0x0x0. 1928, Third Printing. Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. Shelf wear. Gutters starting. Text faded from spine. Stamped on rear end page. liii, 360 pages, 1 leaf frontispiece (portrait), 23 cm. <br> The roots of gastronomy in America can be traced to 19th century France. Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) was a politician, judge, and writer. But he is most remembered for what many consider to be the bible of gastronomy, Physiologie du Gout ou: Meditations de Gastronomie Transcendante. Brillat-Savarin was the first writer to provide a systematic analysis of the pleasures of eating–a gastronomic code from which countless fellow gourmands drew inspiration. Published shortly before his death, Brillat-Savarin's philosophy of food conisseurship and fine dining was an immediate smash success, making him famous overnight.
