There are a number of subject headings used to find books in the UW Libraries about food history. In addition to broad terms such as food there are also narrower terms focused on a specific type of food (sugar, tea, chocolate, etc.). These are a selection of subject headings that may be useful when searching for books on food-related history. Use the terms in conjunction with the word history when searching for books. Many terms can also be used with place names. For example:
baking baby foods beverages can foods cookbooks cooking cookery |
diet dietaries dinners and dining food habits food supply foods frozen foods |
gastronomy groceries home economics junk food nutrition restaurants vegetarianism |
