About the Book

No anthropological, cultural, social, or even literary approach can escape the discourse surrounding food. One need only think of the hunger devastating vast regions of the world or striking a city that was prosperous until recently as a result of genocidal policies, or of the excessive artificiality mixed with vulgarity that characterizes today’s omnipresent obsession with “cuisine.”

Rather than a conventional academic work, this book is a collection of fascinating fragments from the research of an author who has spent years reflecting on how our relationship with food and the pleasure we derive from it shape who we are. Svetlana Slapšak brings together personal stories, witty observations, and practical culinary tips — including actual recipes.
