De Gruyter Food Design Small: Reflections on Food, Design and Language
More than a thousand times per year, before every meal, people select, cut up, heat, mix and combine, and thus design raw materials and basic products for dishes and foods. What are the steps in the design process of treatment, and how associated decisions proceed from the selection of a food, to defining it as an eating object, all the way to consumption? This book investigates where the forms of what we eat come from, which factors play a role in their design, and how eating objects also function as signs that convey their contents and meanings. The goal of this book is to expand and reflect upon our knowledge about the origin, content, and meaning of eating objects.

Birkhauser Food Design XL
Why are pizzas round, and why are fish fingers rectangular? Why do we cut a cake one way and bread another way? "Food Design", which was published in 2005, gave the first answers to these questions. Now the dedicated authors present, "Food Design XL," the more comprehensive, larger and bilingual edition of their award-winning work. "Food Design XL" shows how shape, color, smell, consistency, consumption noises, production methods, history and stories influence food product design. After all, we consciously change the appearance of nature's edible offerings more than one thousand times a year, before every meal, by cutting, cooking, stirring or combining foods. The human will to design food sets apart from other living creatures. We have all been food designers for thousands of years. This is reason enough to whet the reader's appetite for this subject with this new XL-format bilingual edition. Warum sind Pizzas rund und Fischstäbchen rechteckig? Warum teilen wir die Torte anders als wir Brot schneiden? Auf diese und ähnliche Fragen gab das im Jahr 2005 erfolgreich lancierte und mit internationalen Preisen ausgezeichnete Buch "Food Design" bereits erste Antworten. Nun präsentieren die engagierten Autoren die an Umfang, Größe und Zweisprachigkeit zugenommene Maxi-Ausgabe. "Food Design XL" zeigt auf, wie Form, Farbe, Geruch, Konsistenz, Verzehrgeräusche, Herstellungstechnik, Geschichte und Geschichten das Design von Lebensmitteln beeinflussen. Denn mehr als eintausend Mal pro Jahr - vor jedem Essen - zerschneiden, zerkochen, verrühren oder kombinieren, also verändern wir bewusst das essbare Angebot der Natur. Der menschliche Wille, Essbares zu gestalten, unterscheidet uns von allen anderen Lebewesen. Seit tausenden von Jahren sind wir also alle Food-Designer. Grund genug, dieses Thema dem Leser im XL-Format und nun zweisprachig schmackhaft zu machen.
