Originally published in 1825, Physiology of Taste is a culinary masterpiece that gives insight into the history and practice of eating, both together and alone. The author uses a unique storytelling style to detail the sensual art of fine dining.

Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin believes that what you eat is a reflection of who you are. Through years of observation and study, he created a book detailing the art and science of food. He takes a philosophical approach that applies common epicurean ideas. He discusses the influence of taste and smell, as well as the power of flavor. Through anecdotes and essays, the author explores the principles of gastronomy and the hierarchy of foods within a diet. Many of the book's musings are still relevant and maintain their value in the modern world.
