    Cooking, cuisine, and class: a study in comparative sociology.

    The preparation, serving and


    eating of food are common features of all human societies, and have been the focus of study for
    numerous anthropologists-from Sir James Frazer onwards-from a variety of theoretical and
    empirical perspectives. It is in the context of this previous anthropological work that Jack Goody
    sets his observations on cooking in West Africa. He criticizes those approaches which overlook
    the comparative historical dimension of culinary, and other, cultural differences that emerge in
    class societies, both of which elements he particularly emphasizes in this book.
