Food Costs and Comparisons Across Cultures
Can you imagine the opportunity to have dinner with 30 different families...in 24 countries? What do they shop for? Where are their farms? How do they prepare for meals? And what are their eating habits like?
Photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D'Aluisio (Women in the Material World)
"Because the book makes many of its points through the eye, we see--and feel--more than we might otherwise. Issues that influence how the families are nourished (or not) are made more immediate. Quietly, the book reveals the intersection of nutrition and politics, of the particular and universal. It's a wonderful and worthy feat". --Arthur Boehm, Blue Ginger: East Meets West Cooking with Ming Tsai.
