PPC (Petits Propos Culinaires) -
subscription information |
|
|
|
|
|
We are often asked to tell people what our journal PPC (Petits
Propos Culinaires) is. The short answer is that it is a
semi-academic periodical which comes out three times a year and deals with
food, cookery and cookery books; that it usually runs to 64 or 72 pages,
none occupied by advertisements; and that the contributors are a mixture
of professional writers and amateurs. All issues are illustrated, in
black and white (reproductions of old engravings and woodcuts, etc, plus
drawings commissioned for PPC). |
|
|
PPC is not a collection of recipes, although most
issues contain some recipes of particular interest. These recipes
have often been embodied in articles, e g by the late Elizabeth David and
Richard Olney (both of whom played an important part in the founding of
PPC). Extensive Book Reviews and an item called Notes and Queries
are also regular features. The latter provides a forum for reports
on research in progress and for posing questions which readers may be able
to answer. |
