Bigger Fish To Fry Av David E. Sutton

<p>What defines cooking as cooking, and why does cooking matter to the understanding of society, cultural change and everyday life? This book explores these questions by proposing a new theory of the meaning of cooking as a willingness to put oneself and one’s meals at risk on a daily basis. Richly illustrated with examples from the author’s anthropology fieldwork in Greece, <em>Bigger Fish to Fry</em> proposes a new approach to the meaning of cooking and how the study of cooking can reshape our understanding of social processes more generally.</p>
