Reviews

The volume succeeds in making readers understand that restaurants do more than simply feed people - they transmit culture, encourage socialization, and express the values of a particular place. Reading this book makes it obvious that we do not choose to eat at a restaurant just because we like the food. Virginia Moench, Gastronomica The book has left me hungry for more such 'snapshots' of food and culture. Society for the Anthropolgy of Food and Nutrition (Online Review)
