Goldstein credits an article she published in 1995 as the impetus for creating Gastronomica. This article, "Russia, Carême, and the Culinary Arts," discussed the great French pastry chef Antoine Carême's pièces montées or sugar sculptures in the context of the architectural drawings he made for monuments in St. Petersburg, Russia. Goldstein was dismayed that her highly interdisciplinary research would reach such a small audience after its publication in the scholarly Slavonic and Eastern European Review. Wanting to create a platform for academics and food writers to come together and help legitimize the budding field of food studies, Goldstein approached the University of California Press about the creation of a new food studies journal.
