Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"[Slate] finds a new angle on one of the most consequential leaders of the last century, and then he fills in that angle with nuts and milk and fruit. You don’t see many portraits like this one, constructed out of all the food that made the man."

* Seattle Review of Books *

"A marvelous and well-written book."

* Food Anthropology *

"This illustration is so simple, yet so clever. It’s so striking and playful."

* Spine Magazine *

"[A] deft and careful exploration of the philosophical underpinnings of Gandhi’s dietary views."

* Journal of Asian Studies *

"Brings a new perspective to a familiar figure through an investigation of the archive of diet."

* New Books Network *

"[D]eep, wise book about the eating life of one of the moral giants of the modern world."

* Arab News *

"Will be of significant interest to Gandhi scholars and to those with a commitment to exploring the ethics, sociology, and history of food."
