Fabulous Feasts (Hardcover)

With his signature finely detailed illustrations, Peter Kent looks at ten fabulous feasts from different cultures and periods of history. From the debauchery of a Roman saturnalia to the down-home fun of a nineteenth-century American barn raising, the seemingly odd customs and food of various feasts are vividly illustrated here. Also included are lists of guzzling guests and menu delicacies for readers to find in the illustrations, as well as a look at some ways that people have prepared food throughout history.
