{"product_id":"culinary-art-and-anthropology-joy-adapon-9781847882127","title":"Culinary Art and Anthropology","description":"Culinary Art and Anthropology is an anthropological study of food. It focuses on taste and flavour using an original interpretation of Alfred Gell's theory of the 'art nexus'. Grounded in ethnography, it explores the notion of cooking as an embodied skill and artistic practice. The integral role and concept of 'flavour' in everyday life is examined among cottage industry barbacoa makers in Milpa Alta, an outer district of Mexico City. Women's work and local festive occasions are examined against a background of material on professional chefs who reproduce 'traditional' Mexican cooking in restaurant settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluding recipes to allow readers to practise the art of Mexican cooking, Culinary Art and Anthropology offers a sensual, theoretically sophisticated model for understanding food anthropologically. It will appeal to social scientists, food lovers, and those interested in the growing fields of food studies and the anthropology of the senses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joy Adapon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847882129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847882127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Joy Adapon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125474685183,"sku":"9781847882127","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_515b3e1e-2f24-4853-ae54-429a6b19644b.jpg?v=1687442838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culinary-art-and-anthropology-joy-adapon-9781847882127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
