What is 5. Cake: An Early Modern Chronicle of Trade, Technology, and Exchange about?
To consider cake as a field of study or even as a case study seems a bit of a sweet indulgence, given that cake is hardly fundamental to the quotidian needs of good nutrition or a good meal. Rather, as Sir Toby indicates to the puritanical Malvolio, cake is (like ale), something that is part of revelry and celebration-a luxury. Yet, if we consider its history from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries (and beyond), cake provides a narrative of Europe's engagement with global exploration, colonization, and trade; the development of chemistry and technology; and the illusive networks and communities of recipe exchange. Thus, to study cake is to study culture, with its political, economic, technological, and artistic complexities.
