Reviews

'The discussion in this book engages with and extends current debates in its field but more importantly the deployment of the trope of 'leftovers' as an analytical tool is really innovative and exciting.' Kathryn Robson, Newcastle University 'The wide-ranging implications of food and drink that Cruickshank analyzes make this book essential reading for all students and scholars.' Jennifer L. Holm, Gastronomica
