The way to freedom is through the stomach. Did we know that? With the invention of the restaurant, cooking changed from merely filling people up to an art. It was around the time of the French Revolution, of all times, that experimental minds began to compete for hungry diners and outdo each other with the most delicious creations.
Eating out has become an integral part of today's world and has taught us ever new forms of preparation and sensory perception - from the opulence of the 18th century to molecular cuisine.
In her new book,Ute Cohen has devoted herself to this subject with verve and grandeur. She would tactfully never put it this way, but: Germany still has some catching up to do when it comes to the art of loving good food.
