DESCRIPTION
This course combines historical, anthropological, sociological and, of course, gastronomical perspectives to examine the relationship between food and culture in Spain. A historical timeline will be used as a reference to follow the evolution of Spanish cuisine from Spain's first settlers to present day. The different cultures and civilizations that have formed part of Spain's history - Romans, Visigoths, Arabs, Jews and Pre-Columbian Americans - have contributed a variety of foods and spices that today form part of the rich and unique Spanish cuisine.
