Bøger af Charles Thompson

Drugs and terrorism are the two dark sides of the 70s which also hit the 80s with their tail. Unlike the previous decade, however, in the 80s there was a lot of dancing. The era of advertising and frenzied purchases begins. Food and drink were massively sponsored. Along with all these economic changes, the world of food also underwent very strong transformations. To begin with, newsstands and bookshops offered an incredible number of cooking books and magazines which, interspersed with persuasive advertising spaces, offered easy, quick, exotic, creative recipes and completely devoid of those traditional traits that we carried with us in the nostalgic baggage of the past. Women, rightly tired of being housewives, began to work and domestic cooking was no longer a priority. In addition to time, the desire to cook was also missing, the oral handing down of recipes was lost and the sense of the seasonality of the ingredients was also lost. This meant only one thing: both at home and in the restaurant there was a lot, a lot of confusion. the frozen food department. The consumption of frozen foods recorded impressive growth numbers, in 1960 20 g per capita were consumed, in 1987 it reached 6 kg per person. Adding to the wonderful world of frozen foods was canned corn which became a real trend. Salad was the generic term used to call arugula in the 1980s. There was rocket everywhere, as a side dish, as a main course but also as a background, a lot of it was eaten and a very good part of it was thrown away. The era of salmon trout, carpaccio, the famous and unforgettable pasta with cream and salmon, porcini mushrooms, Russian salad (which had very little Russian flavor), veal with tuna sauce and caviar began.Local fruit was snubbed in favor of exotic fruit with which compositions were also created that nowadays we could define as embarrassing. Pineapple, mango, papaya, passion fruit and kiwi not only changed our way of eating fruit and vegetables, but in possible cases made us among the most significant international producers in just a few decades. We no longer cared about taste and flavours, we just wanted to experiment and be trendy. There was also a boom in dishes that were quick to prepare and were more suitable for singles than families. However, there was then a break between the way of eating and physical appearance. Cheeseburgers flooded with sauces, fries and sandwiches did not always guarantee a slim and athletic physique as the models of the time required. So it's time for yogurt and cereals. Thus it was that Italian Sunday lunch suffered a hard, very hard blow.The new way of eating was fast, almost never nutritious and above all it did not focus on taste but on appearance. The first company canteens were also born, offering meters of cold dishes, Caprese salads, rice salads, chicken salads and, of course, yoghurt. Unknowingly (or almost) we found ourselves in the universe of buffets full of canapés, canapés and sandwiches. From the food point of view they were dark years, but at least he continued to dance to the myth of John Travolta.

Plastic and flowers, the Seventies in the kitchen were years of contrasts, as bright as the colors on the clothes. There are few half measures. So, if on the one hand industrial food, the pressure cooker, frozen foods are the masters, on the other it is precisely in these years that we chose the path of self-production, we returned to the countryside, we made yoghurt at home, seeds are eaten. Jellies, cream and mayonnaise abound in magazines and restaurant menus. The love of the previous decade for the buffet of decorated appetizers resists well, while the predilection of the Eighties and the savory-fruit association is anticipated. The dishwasher, initially huge, very heavy and on wheels, then over the years became more manageable and lighter. Today no one does without it and very few now remember how to wash plates and glasses by hand. In the field of small household appliances, the electric knife was all the rage and also had its 15 minutes of fame. No more than those, because it was an uncomfortable, heavy and practically useless object of torture, which constantly slipped out of the hands causing extremely painful cuts and lacerations. Here are the dishes for a perfect 70s menu.

The economic miracle, the summer exoduses, the mini skirts, the washing machine. Is there a more celebrated period, looked at with nostalgia and envy, than the 60s? For Americans, a lost paradise in which everything was optimism, trust, desire to do, after having left behind the ancient miseries. In the kitchen there was a rush to purchase foods that were once considered "rich" and had become mass-produced, celebrated by the new television and now within everyone's reach thanks to the first supermarkets. The boom in the consumption of beef - always a symbol of well-being, until a few years earlier. But there is also the flip side of the coin: the "old" homemade foods begin to be seen with contempt and to be sacrificed on the altar of packaged and industrialized food, a trend that will become radicalized in the 70s. But let's see which ones they are the symbolic dishes of the 60s.

Have you ever dreamed of taking a step back in time to 1950s America? Between timeless films, songs that have made the history of music and the inevitable dishes of the American culinary tradition. The 1950s in the United States marked a period of economic boom and innovation, dictated by the innovations and ethnic mixes of this land. These innovations have affected all areas of people's lives and obviously also those related to nutrition. Abundant breakfasts and quick lunches created fertile ground for the birth of the first fast foods, where the possibility of eating quickly was also associated with the possibility of relying on take-away foods to be consumed even on the street, such as chicken wings, pizza and Hamburger. The latter is without a doubt the symbol par excellence of a quick lunch. Born as a pressed beef meatball, together with salad, bacon, cheeses, pickles and sauces, enclosed in a sandwich, it represents one of the symbols of US cuisine. Upon closer inspection, another important aspect is represented by the introduction of household appliances, which will end up radically changing Americans' eating habits.
