Renowned as an epicure and gastronome he worked on his Physiologie du Gout all his life assembling it just before he died; it was privately published at his expense just two months before his death. Neither a cookery book nor a memoir it is rather a discussion of the nature of eating in its widest sense. It starts with twenty gastronomical "aphorismes" perhaps the best known being "IV tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are"; then thirty "méditations" and finishes with twenty-seven 'variétés' in the form of anecdotes adventures recipes and inventions.<br /> <br /> <br /> <p>"For the French and outsides alike this work early attained the status of an exemplary culinary text perhaps the exemplary text. the Physiology of Taste civilizes eating. Moreover it socializes food and it does so by recounting in story after story our social relations with food. it appears to us today as something of a sociology of taste ahead of its time" Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson Accounting for Taste: The Triumph of French Cuisine Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2004 p. 31<br /> <br /> Brillat-Savarin spent several years in New York as a refugee from the French revolution before returning to France and eventually becoming a judge on the French Court of Appeal; a post he held until retirement.<br /> <br /> "One of the most witty discussions on food ever written… The work is filled with entertaining anecdotes and commentary on good eating including several pages of impressions about the United States" Feret Barbara. Gastronomical and Culinary Literature. The Scarecrow Press 1979 p. 38.</p> <br /> Perhaps the most renowned book on gastronomy.<br /> <br /> <br /> Scarce.
