"Food and drink reveal to us the heart of a culture. Much can be learnt through the essays in this significant and important study." (Reference Reviews 2016).‘Whether one’s passion is cookery books, baking, sacrifice, or butchery, or if kitchens, viniculture, and archaeobotany are more to your taste, readers of all types will find something relevant to dip into here.’ (Tyler Jo Smith, Religious Studies Review, Vol 43, No 2, June 2017).
