’This book is a timely intervention into analyses of food cultures, food fashions and food security. Theoretically sophisticated yet accessibly written, it broadens meanings of pedagogy in imaginative ways to address the social, cultural and political significance of food. A dazzling range of perspectives prompts questions about how we think, teach, learn and eat.’ Jean Duruz, University of South Australia, Australia ’This masterpiece forever changes our understandings of how and where we learn about food. Edited by two of the most creative thinkers in contemporary food studies, these essays dramatically expose the formal and informal ways children and adults receive morally-charged ideas about food and cooking. Ranging from supermarkets to cooking shows to government campaigns, this book reshapes the very politics of teaching food.’ Daniel E. Bender, University of Toronto, Canada
