The real pleasure and importance of Food and Multiculture lies in its brilliantly evocative ethnographic descriptions of the smells and tastes of urban multiculturalism. Alex Rhys-Taylor conjures a world where the flavours and aromas of our city streets are always densely and compellingly social.

Rich in ethnographic insights and scholarly nuances, it traces journeys of people and goods across the globe while evoking, viscerally, the tastes and smells of everyday London. * Jean Duruz, University of South Australia, Australia *
