“…It can be difficult to match the names of objects in documents to surviving artefacts, creating parallel scholarly and curatorial worlds of surviving things without names and recorded names without things (Pennell 1998, 208). Contemporary textual accounts and visual representations of meals focus on the remarkable and extraordinary, rather than the everyday (Grieco 1999(Grieco , 2012. Cookery books, discussed further below, tell us something about culinary practices in theory, but their relationship to quotidian diet is complex and they rarely give much information about the objects that the preparation of their recipes required (Grieco 1992).…”

This article considers how the sounds produced by the preparation and consumption of meals in Italy changed between around 1300 and 1700. It argues that by focusing on sound, and by using ecological approaches, we can rediscover obscured connections between different categories of material objects. By examining material and textual evidence for three categories of objects associated with cooking and dining-metalwork, ceramics, and glass-the article traces changes in the material cultures of kitchen and table, and the clear impact these changes had on domestic soundscapes. It considers these sound-producing objects as agents of social interaction, exploring the social relationships they constructed, and the role sound played in those relationships. The article then focuses on the practices of cooking and dining, and the way they shaped the sound of objects. Finally, the article situates objects and social practices within the spatial context of the home, tracing an increasing impetus to manage and control specific types of sound in relation to gender. In the discourse on hospitality, noise came to signify a badlymanaged, and therefore morally dubious, household, while silence testified to decorous and authoritative domestic management.
