A highly original collection of essays that explore the relationship between food and architecture--the preparation of meals and the production of space.

The contributors to this highly original collection of essays explore the relationship between food and architecture, asking what can be learned by examining the (often metaphorical) intersection of the preparation of meals and the production of space. In a culture that includes the Food Channel and the knife-juggling chefs of Benihana, food has become not only an obsession but an alternative art form. The nineteen essays and Gallery of Recipes in Eating Architecture seize this moment to investigate how art and architecture engage issues of identity, ideology, conviviality, memory, and loss that cookery evokes. This is a book for all those who opt for the combination platter of cultural inquiry as well as for the readers of M. F. K. Fisher and Ruth Reichl.
