Publishers Text

Over the past century our culinary tastes have been transformed, pulled into supermarket aisles and seduced by Michelin stars, transfixed by MasterChefs and shaped by fads. How did food, once a simple fact of life, come to dominate our desires—and our attention?

From the rise of restaurant queues to the dream of the modern dinner party; the unlikely adoption of bubble tea to the advent of the TikTok restaurant critic, Ruby Tandoh's startlingly original exploration questions how our tastes have been shaped—and how much they are, in fact, our own.
