Mar 11 2010 - 5:30pm Mar 11 2010 - 7:30pm Thursdays at 5:30pm a Coop tradition, the Hindu Medicine and Indian Food class, will meet at the Cervantes Co-op House, 6036 Pershing Avenue, just across the street from the Perry Co-op House, where the class has also met (Su 07). We have scheduled this class to accommodate the needs of working adults and students who wish to prepare a dish for our 7:30pm WashU Coop Pot Luck at the Perry. ******************************************************************************* Hindu medicine cannot be separated from Hindu religion and philosophy; one cannot understand Hinduism without understanding the basics of Hindu medical and nutritional theory. The course covers the development of South Asian medicine, nutritional theory, and foodways, from prehistory to the present, with attention to their religious significance. Indian civilization is introduced by exploring systems of belief concerning food, and the mutual relations between the cuisines of India and other world civilizations are examined. Special topics include the controversy concerning Soma, the Indo-Roman spice trade, diffusion of food items throughout Asia and the world, Ayurvedic and Chinese theories of nutrition, alchemy, vegetarianism, classical culinary texts, culinary systems of South Asian religious minorities, New World influences, Southeast Asian cuisines, and the anthropology of food. Requirements: exams, paper, class presentation, and a cooking assignment. Multi-track syllabus, non-credit course (I will give you exams, a grade, and/or a detailed letter of evaluation if you wish). Full class 15 weeks.
