Food as culture - by Massimo Montanari

Food is an expression of culture not only when produced, but also when prepared and consumed. According to Montanari, people do not just use what is offered by nature, but they create food, prepare it using techniques and do not eat just anything, choosing what suits them according to cultural criteria. This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand this social being, whose identity is the result of the intertwining developed throughout history.
