"A collection of contemporary food writing that readers can really sink their teeth into: one that examines the ineluctable link between nourishment, literature and society. Included are writings by Nigella Lawson, Julia Child, Marcella Hazan, and Anthony Bourdain- well-known for their alimentary musings, and Charles Simic, Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, Wole Soyinka and Susan Sontag, known better for other writings; all speak eloquently on the nature of food, language, and the adaptability of social customs." (from the cover).
