Food and Love by Jack Goody

Surveys phenomena as diverse as the uniqueness of the European family, the development of romantic love, the evolution of national and regional cuisines, and the globalization of Chinese food. This book shows that the ethnocentricity of much of Western scholarship has distorted the comprehension of the East and of developments in Europe.
Praise for The Culture of Flowers "A pioneering work: intelligently argued, encyclopaedic in its learning" Sunday Telegraph "Richly stimulating." Financial Times
Jack Goody is Professor of Anthropology at Cambridge University and a Fellow of St. John's College. His publications include The East in the West, The Culture of Flowers, Cooking, Cuisine and Class, and Food and Love.
