Let's Cook History - Episode 3: The Renaissance Meal | History Documentary
In the Renaissance, with cities like Venice and Florence at the helm of European innovation, changes in the arts and sciences lead to a new outlook in eating habits. Vegetable gardens became horticultural laboratories, recipes were published thanks to the likes of Gutenburg and table etiquette became the obsessive subject of social standing.
The 16th Century was a time of conflict within the church of Christianity, and the conflict spread from the battlefield onto the dining table, with the philosophies of Da Vinci and Luther creating divides amongst followers.The chef became the true master of ceremonies in the courts. The sugar craze, use of spices and table manners guide of Erasmus are aspects of Renaissance gastronomy that are still in place today.
An entertaining five part series exploring the origins of our eating habits. Each episode reconstructs a famous meal from a different period in history, depicting the evolution of tastes, customs and world trades that have shaped our cuisine.

"...one has to master how to use the fork elegantly..." me: *childhood flashbacks of being drilled on how to master the chopsticks*

31:23 speaking of venice and veronese, there is a lovely vessel form in traditional venetian blown glass named after him. they really did culturally interweave the fine arts into just about every aspect of their lives. as a glassblower im grateful.

32:10 Indeed, that particular goblet shape is known as a tazza in venetian glassblowing, and is taught today quite as it was then. venetian gobletry is a technical foundation that serves many glassblowers extremely well even if they dont make goblets. what a fascinating insight into that time period. i too could stare at this for days. i am now a glassblower and used to be a line cook in restaurants. that image is amazing.
