Recipe Books and the Structure of Recipes
2020
Learning to cook is no easy task. It takes time and patience, hard work and plenty of passion. Sometimes it can take years and a certain predisposition is necessary. As a result, many give up and few are truly successful. But teaching to cook is equally difficult. In the kitchen, when the teacher and their apprentices are in direct contact working together, things are relatively simple. The teacher carefully demonstrates the various steps to follow when preparing a particular dish or stock or sauce. The appren tices listen and, most importantly, play close attention. Then, slowly, tasting as they go, and - most importantly - imitating the teacher’s movements and gesture, they are able to at…
Grammatica della ricetta, retorica della cucina
2021
Cooking is - precisely - more a practical know-how than a form of theoretical knowledge. Much like swimming, driving a car, riding a bike, talking. All things that you don't learn in books or lessons but by doing them, putting them into practice with assiduity, courage, stubbornness. As long as it is the body itself that acquires the ways, the techniques, the rules. Of course, in the kitchen scientific and technical knowledge, theoretical knowledge, history, culture, traditions also count for a lot. But when it comes to rolling out a pastry, flipping an omelette, kneading a pizza dough (to limit ourselves to very elementary preparations), what counts is manual dexterity, a clinical eye, the…
TRADITIONAL PRODUCTS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMES
2012
In the past years, the role of traditional products in the European economy has greatly increased, firstly through the supply of essential products and services for the local communities, but also through the creation of new work places in all the EU countries, including Romania. 99,1% of traditional products are being produced in our country in small and micro-enterprises, with a small number of employees, and which use traditional recipes, passed down from generation to generation - and the secret of which is kept strictly within the family. This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of developing these small businesses which produce and sell traditional products in Romania, and to ana…
Alimentación y salud en la Valencia medieval. Teorías y prácticas
2013
The aim of this article is to provide an initial survey about the relationship between food habits and health in a Mediterranean city during the Late Middle Ages, by comparing medical treatises, gastronomic recipes and the archival sources that tell us about the actual expenses in food. Through this comparison, and by using accounting records of aristocratic houses, merchant enterprises, convents and hospitals, we can observe the dietary guidelines that were applied, and their concordance with the galenic principles of University medicine. Moreover, we attempt to assess what were the key factors in the evolution of these theories’ guidelines, and how they were probably rather a way to appro…
Ecrire la cuisine
2020
The aim of this article is to approach the cusine recipe from a strictly semiotic point of view by first explaining the relation between food and language and then submitting the speech of the recipe to an analysis that throws light on the mechanisms of its discursive functioning. This article aims also to instrcut in a profound way the question of the many relationships, both constitutive and hidden, between culinary practices and language. Particular attention will be paid to the question of the relationship between historical and oral cooking recipes as well as to the communicative pact established by the cooking recipe.
How to read a recipe: the semiotic point of view
2020
Writing a recipe is no easy task. It requires great care to render those various steps clearly, placing them in order, explaining the reasons for their importance in achieving the final result. However, over time the technique for writing a recipe, and consequently for composing an entire recipe book, has not just been perfected, but has reached fairly stable standards that, when reproduced, make teaching others to cook using the written word a fairly common practice. So, this article try to answer to the answers: How are recipes structured? What order do they follow when describing a culinary procedure?
Forme della cucina siciliana. Esercizi di semiotica del gusto
2020
Sarde a beccafico, cuscus, minestra di tenerumi, caponata, pasta alla Norma, pasta con le sarde, involtini di carne, cassate e cannoli, fritture varie: ecco i più tipici piatti della tradizione gastonomica siciliana, stereotipi alimentari tanto amati sia dai turisti sia dai siciliani doc. Ma cosa rende così apprezzate queste pietanze? E, soprattutto, cosa fa sì che siano diventate fra le più rappresentative della cucina – e in generale della cultura – siciliana? Se la tradizione è un’innovazione riuscita, un’invenzione efficace, questo volume prova a spiegare, con gli strumenti della semiotica, attraverso quali dispositivi antropologici, discorsivi e testuali sia nata – e soprattutto si sia…
