Description: "Culinary imagery, much like sexual and violent imagery, is a key cinematic device used to elicit a sensory response from an audience. This book defines the food film genre, and analyzes the relationship between cinematic food imagery and various cultural constructs, including politics, family, identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender and religion"--Provided by publisher.
