Serving up : essays on food, identity and culture
2025
Books
Here is a collection of essays about food and its powerful link to identity, culture and community, from twenty exciting voices around the world. We hear about a family ritual of drying mango and pickling limes in India, and the search for a father's favourite hotdog in North Carolina. We investigate Latino food in cinema and vegetarianism in Buddhist diets, the cultural appropriation of Chinese food and the effect of gentrification on Black communities. And we learn about the grassroots organisations fighting for change, for equality for farmers and for better mental health provisions in kitchens, where toxicity and micro-aggressions are rife.
