How do the links between food and power change over time and space and across social class? Anthropological, sociological, and historical studies have established how food created and maintained hierarchy and marked boundaries between groups in early historical periods. Did these same mechanisms work within the court elites of Europe after 1789? Leading culinary historians of Europe examine the court cuisines of imperial Russia and of France during the Second Empire, as well as the culinary networks of power at the Royal Belgian court and that of the late Ottoman empire.
