Summary: Insight into Middle Eastern Culture
Comment: This book is an academic sociological study on the cultures of the Middle East using food studies as its medium. Although it does not contain any recipies, the essays provide facinating insight into the attitudes and customs involving food. This book would be enjoyed by anthropologists, archaeologists, extreme foodies, and those interested in a deeper understanding of social and cultural aspects of food production and consumption.
