Food Issues of Contemporary Society

This is the online forum of "Food Issues," a tool that we hope will stimulate class discussion and house our small intellectual community. It will be only as fruitful as we make it...so post with abandon.

Today's Top Seller!

The question was raised today about the audience of "ethnic" cookbooks. Do the French buy books on French cooking? The Italians, Italian cooking? Hoping to get some insight into the purchasing habits of Euro-literate-cooks, I checked Amazon's French website for the current list of their best selling books in the category "Cuisine et Vins" ("Food and Wine").

Number one?








["I Don't Know How to Lose Weight"]


So much for Mireille Guiliano's arguement.


More on ethnic cookbook-buying later.
