TV cookery shows hosted by celebrity chefs. Meal prep kitchens.
Online grocers and restaurant review sites. Competitive eating
contests, carnivals and fairs, and junk food websites and blogs.
What do all of them have in common? According to authors Kathleen
LeBesco and Peter Naccarato, they each serve as productive sites
for understanding the role of culinary capital in shaping
individual and group identities in contemporary culture.Beyond
providing sustenance, food and food practices play an important
social role, offering status to individuals who conform to their
culture's culinary norms and expectations while also providing a
means of resisting them. "Culinary Capital" analyzes this
phenomenon in action across the landscape of contemporary culture.
The authors examine how each of the sites listed above promises
viewers and consumers status through the acquisition of culinary
capital and, as they do so, intersect with a range of cultural
values and ideologies, particularly those of gender and economic
class.
