Description
Book SynopsisThe rhetoric of food is more than just words about food, and food is more than just edible matter. Cookery: Food Rhetorics and Social Production explores how food mediates both rhetorical influence and material life through the overlapping concepts of invention and production.
Trade ReviewCookery contributes to the fields of rhetoric a sophisticated mapping of how our consummatory pleasures are enmeshed in symbolic significance, including those moments where what is legible as food, desire, and satiation exceeds extant frames of meaning and feeling." - Isaac West, author of
