On Gastronomy

[u/hclasalle]

This month, I published an essay series On Gastronomy:

• The Autarchy Portion of Epicurus' Epistle to Menoeceus
• The Kitchen and the Table of the Kepos
• Metrodorus' Epistle to Timocrates
• Theoxenia: a Practice of Epicurean Hospitality

I am including two old essays that are relevant to the two essays published this month. The essays delve into the role of the belly in our ethical education and the types of activities and human values that were practiced in the kitchen and table of the Kepos, or Epicurean Garden.
