Reviews
Chefs and architects have come to rely on a combination of intuition, creativity and authenticity. Food and Architecture offers a fascinating vantage into the shared lexicon used by both camps, suggesting how we might shape our footprint within cultural anthropology. Ultimately, this book interrogates how we will be remembered as a people, for centuries to come. * Susan Jane White, Sunday Independent columnist *
What a brilliant idea of Samantha Martin-McAuliffe, linking 'food' and 'architecture' to explore connections and their relationships with humans in shelter and sustenance. The 'terroirchitecture'-rich collection delivers a nourishing dose of palpable aesthetic sensibilities to people who both treasure food and deeply appreciate good architecture. Food and Architecture gratifies, satisfies and shines. * Annie Hauck-Lawson, formerly of Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA *
Food and Architecture jumps into your mouth with a complex flavor profile of terms, recipes, and spaces that renders buildings as edible and meals as inhabitable. Samantha Martin-McAuliffe has compiled a highly enticing collection of essays essential for any discussion on the intersections of taste and place. * Paulette Singley, Woodbury University, USA *
