'Buscemi provides in-depth discussions on the important links between British and Italian food culture, television, politics and associated industries and behaviours. [...] [This book] will be valuable to students of television generally, and particularly those taking an interdisciplinary approach to media, food, culture, politics and globalisation. Buscemi provides a capsule case study of the development over sixty years of Italian television and the journey of food through those decades, witnessing changes to gender expectations, ideas of being a ‘better’ Italian and the possibility of food being used to promote a political ‘lie’ (p. 138) to viewers. [It] considers the culinary and cultural capital that the presenters acquire through television appearances and then use in their representations of the politics of food, world events and aspects of our lives which are far from frivolous.' -- Kevin Geddes, Critical Studies on Television
