Zusatztext Published in Association with the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition (SAFN) and in Collaboration with Rachel Black and Leslie Carlin "In sum! Food Culture is a useful resource text! especially for teaching. Each chapter is well written and organised in a way that is easy for the reader to access; they give robust and clear overviews of methodological approaches! contextualise these theoretically! and provide examples and case studies of how they can be used? Food Culture is more than a methods' textbook and it will be an invaluable resource for higher-level undergraduates and postgraduates in that it offers practical! conceptual! and case study content? The book's value also extends beyond a student audience! and its intellectual rigour ensures it offers something new for more established research- ers. As such! it is a welcome and useful addition to the Food Studies canon." ?
