This book offers the first methodological synthesis of digital food
studies. It brings together contributions from leading scholars in
food and media studies and explores research methods from textual
analysis to digital ethnography and action research. In recent
times, digital media has transformed our relationship with food
which has become one of the central topics in digital and social
media. This spatiotemporal shift in food cultures has led us to
reimagine how we engage in different practices related to food as
consumers. The book examines the opportunities and challenges that
the new digital era of food studies presents and what methodologies
are employed to study the changed dynamics in this field. These
methodologies provide insights into how restaurant reviews,
celebrity webpages, the blogosphere and YouTube are explored, as
well as how to analyse digital archives, digital soundscapes and
digital food activism and a series of approaches to digital
ethnography in food studies. The book presents straightforward
ideas and suggestions for how to get started on one's own research
in the field through well-structured chapters that include several
pedagogical features. Written in an accessible style, the book will
serve as a vital point of reference for both experienced
researchers and beginners in the digital food studies field, health
studies, leisure studies, anthropology, sociology, food sciences,
and media and communication studies.

Food is everywhere in contemporary mediascapes, as witnessed by the
increase in cookbooks, food magazines, television cookery shows,
online blogs, recipes, news items and social media posts about
food. This mediatization of food means that the media often
interplays between food consumption and everyday practices, between
private and political matters and between individuals, groups, and
societies. This volume argues that contemporary food studies need
to pay more attention to the significance of media in relation to
how we 'do' food. Understanding food media is particularly central
to the diverse contemporary social and cultural practices of food
where media use plays an increasingly important but also
differentiated and differentiating role in both large-scale
decisions and most people's everyday practices. The contributions
in this book offer critical studies of food media discourses and of
media users' interpretations, negotiations and uses that construct
places and spaces as well as possible identities and everyday
practices of sameness or otherness that might form new, or renew
old food politics.
