The Pantropheon
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textAlexis Soyer was the most famous chef in Victorian London: cook at the Reform Club, builder of a soup kitchen in Dublin during the Famine, and later reformer of the army’s cooking in the Crimea. The Pantropheon of 1853 is his history of food from the earliest times. It is crammed with Greek and Roman learning, worn lightly.
