At the beginning of my blog I
wanted to know why the visual representations of food were important and
whether Acton was correct when stating food was ‘merely to please the eye’. The
most important thing I have learnt is that using food as decoration has never
really disappeared, and we have gradually become a culture who is obsessed with
the look of food with the ever growing production of picture cookbooks, cook
shows and ‘foodie’ films. With regards to food and change, it is clear that
social and cultural changes have impacted the ways we look at food and look at
animals as food. My experiment of cookbooks has shown me that it is most
helpful cooking from both pictures and words; however picture cookbooks are
less time consuming and fun to cook from. So if I had to choose one to cook
from it would be the pictures.
