Eating Culture: An Anthropological Guide to Food

Eating Culture: An Anthropological Guide to Food

Humans have an appetite for food, and anthropologyâ€”as the study of human beings, their culture, and societyâ€”has an interest in the role of food. From ingredients and recipes to meals and menus across time and space, Eating Culture is a highly engaging overview that illustrates the important role that anthropology and anthropologists have played in understanding food. Organized around the sometimes elusive concept of cuisine and the public discourseâ€”on gastronomy, nutrition, sustainability, and culinary skillsâ€”that surrounds it, this practical guide to anthropological method and theory brings order and insight to our changing relationship with food.
