Join us in Hohbach Hall Room 123 on Friday, April 1st, to celebrate the birthday of Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1775 - 1826), the French gastronome who wrote one of the seminal founding works on gastronomy, Physiologie du goût or The Physiology of Taste. Brillat-Savarin served as the inspiration for the International Edible Book Festival, which celebrates how we enjoy and experience both food and books. On display will be a variety of rare and unusual works representing the interaction of print culture with the culinary world.
