French food - Softcover
More than a book about food alone, French Food uses diet as a window into issues of nationality, literature, and culture in France and abroad. Outstanding contributors from cultural studies, literary criticism, performance studies, and the emerging field of food studies explore a wide range of food matters.

Review:
"Serious scholars of French cooking will enjoy digging through Schehr and Weiss' anthology...not for recipes but for its many revelations.."
-Mark Knoblauch, "Booklist
"Cooking, eating--the whole dining experience--has momentous implications that influence our ability to understand a people, a way of life, a civilization. "French Food is required reading for anyone who, like me, views cuisine as a significant and integral part of culture.."
-Jacques Pepin
"This collection offers detailed accounts of gastro-culinary themes across an unexpected range of texts.."
-Rebecca L. Spang, author of "The Invention of the Restaurant
""French Food, a collection of essays entirely harvested in America, is neither scholarly junk food nor a quick fix for the mind, but a Barthesian feast of historical, literary and semiological insights--a nourishing reconciliation of savoir and saveur.."
-Philippe Roger, author of "Roland Barthes, roman and editor of "Critique
