Résumé

 

A book review of The King’s Peas by Meredith Chilton, the companion publication to the Gardiner Museum exhibition, Savour: Food Culture in the Age of Enlightenment. See this issue of CFS/RCÉA for Jennifer O'Connor's review of Savour.

It is difficult not to like The King's Peas, the genteelly designed and generously produced 'cookbook' published as a companion to the Gardiner Museum's 2019-20 exhibition, Savour: Food Culture in the Age of Enlightenment. At the same time, however, it is also rather hard to like it uncritically, largely because of the celebration of power and colonialism that it represents.
