He asks for its influence on European cuisine. Did it mark a transition from Baroque cuisine, based on spices, to modern “French” cuisine, based on the taste of the ingredients? Starting point of these reflections are of course the many festivities and banquets that took place during the negotiations that provided not only the possibility for informal political talks but also for cultural exchange. So, Brauer asks: Was there a culinary aesthetic specific to the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/VienesseCongress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VienesseCongress</a>? Which symbolic and political role played food on the congress? To answer these questions he looks at a great variety of sources ranging of administrative sources, account books, letters, memoires as well as cook books.

These were not only the great powers and European kingdoms, but also smaller political actors, such as duchies or city states or even trading companies or religious orders. For these precarious actors diplomatic interaction was in a way key to their political survival. It kept them in the game and contributed to stabilizing their status.

She explains that the actor-centred approach of <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/NDH" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDH</a> has led to the neglect of the institutional side of diplomacy in favor of diplomatic actors. But in order to understand <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/emdiplomacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#emdiplomacy</a> we also must pay attention to the “sending institutions”.
