Discover the lesser-known side of Leonardo da Vinci in 'Leonardo's Kitchen Notebooks'. This book, compiled and edited by Shelagh and Jonathan Routh, reveals the Renaissance genius's passion for gastronomy. Through recipes, anecdotes, and curiosities, it explores the eating habits of the 15th and 16th centuries in Italy. With illustrations and texts that evoke Da Vinci's ingenuity, this work offers a unique look at the daily life and culinary tastes of one of history's most brilliant minds.
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he has also become known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and palaeontology. Leonardo is widely regarded as a genius who epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works contributed to the development of European art to an extent rivalled only by that of his younger contemporary Michelangelo.
