Academic foodwriting enters a space where food becomes an idea, not something to cook or something to eat or smell. This idea of food then intersects with other ideas of other things the scholar wants to try to figure out on a grander scale or alternately, to write theses the scholar has in their mind as being the correct theses then have everyone else believe them too.
‘Eating Architecture’ is one of the best books linking food as idea to something else as idea.
For more of “Eating Architecture” please go to the MIT Press page for the book where the full introduction can be read.
