Promotional Information

"A pioneering study. Trepanier's book shows that it is not only possible to study Medieval Anatolia, but that this can be done almost entirely by means of narrative and archaeological sources... Studying this society through the prism of food is an excellent idea, since the production, exchange, and consumption of food are basic aspects of life, but also ones that lend themselves to social and cultural analysis... This book should interest readers in several different fields, including Islamic studies, Byzantium, medieval intercommunal relations, gender, economic history, and consumption studies." -- Dimitris Kastritsis, Lecturer in History, University of St. Andrews, and author of The Sons of Bayezid: Empire Building and Representation in the Ottoman Civil War of 1402-1413

Reviews

"Trépanier is to be congratulated for writing an accessible and creative account of an almost inaccessible period and topic in Anatolian history."
*Global Food History*

"It is not easy to reconstruct whole worlds out of fragments. It is a painstaking endeavor that requires curiosity, reflection, familiarity with the existing research, the careful evaluation of sources, comparisons with other available materials, and overall a whole lot of patience. Foodways and Daily Life in Medieval Anatolia: A New Social History by Nicolas Trépanier provides a great example of this kind of meticulous yet passionate work in food history."
*Huffington Post*

"Foodways and Daily Life is not only a well-written and thoroughly researched inquiry into the daily lives of ordinary people in medieval Anatolia, but also a fascinating pathbreaker in a novel approach to the field."
*Journal of the American Oriental Society*

"An interesting discussion of an issue which has never before been defined as a research topic."
*Der Islam*
