About this title

Synopsis

Eating is a social ritual. From dinner dates to everyday suppers, casual picnics to lavish feasts, dining brings people together for far more than satisfying the needs of the body. For centuries, cutlery has served as extensions of our hands, enriching how we experience food and the act of eating. Knives, forks, and spoons come between hand and mouth, articulating the experience of dining.

Review

Feeding Desire explores the history, forms, and social meaning of eating utensils over the past five centuries. --.
