New in College of Applied Science Library
With the introduction in Fall 2004 of a new degree program in Culinary
Science, there are many new additions to the CAS Library collection.
In consultation with Margaret Gavin, UC’s coordinator of the program,
the Library has recently acquired an assortment of new resources. For
example:
- the new periodical, Gastronomica, the journal of food
and culture (available both in print and electronic), combines academic
research and culinary arts with articles on such varied topics as
“Chinese Food Culture Today,” “The Obesity Epidemic,”
and “Tempting the Palate: the Food Stylist’s Art.”
- classics of cookery such as Mastering the Art of French Cooking
by Julia Child.
- a variety of books that represent the science of cooking, such as
The Art and Science of Baking, Culinary Nutrition for Food Professionals,
On Cooking - a textbook of
Culinary Fundamentals, and The Making of a Chef: Mastering Heat at
the Culinary Institute of America.
As new courses are developed, such as “The World of Tea,”
the Library will respond by purchasing additional materials to support
this new program.
