Italian to English Other Food & Drink
Quale luogo migliore per realizzare corsi di pittura e di fotografia in montagna, di meditazione e yoga, di cucina letteraria.

I'm not sure how to translate this - literature-inspired cuisine? food in literature? cooking in literature? I have found g-hits for all of these, but was wondering whether anyone knows a more frequently used way of expressing the concept. Thanks!

literature-inspired cooking

Not at all sure if one hit is enough, but this might be of some interest: http://www.google.it/search?num=20&hl=it&newwindow=1&q="lite...

I think it must mean "inspired by literature", anyway: http://www.testi-utili.com/I_2008_2009/terzo anno/Pianificaz...

literature and food

I might put it like this.

How do eating and cooking express who we are? How do some foods come to be associated with women and others with men? What is "foreign" food and how does it stop being foreign?

This module will investigate literary representations and uses of food from the late eighteenth century to the present day

Food plays a big role in literature, with evocative descriptions making a particular impression on childhood minds. Enid Blyton’s picnics of ginger beer, potted meats and milk drunk straight from the cow always sounded slightly strange to my thoroughly modern sensibilities, but, much like the characters themselves, undeniably wholesome and just plain ‘good’. Roald Dahl also provides numerous unforgettable food-related incidents, such as Bruce Bogtrotter’s cake victory over Miss Trunchbull, or the disgusting eating habits of the Twits. Need I even mention Willy Wonka’s factory?
