Virtues of the table

Food is in the spotlight - with culinary hypes, bestsellers from top chefs and critical debates about the food industry. We want to eat tasty, healthy and responsible food, not pay too much and have little time. But how do we do that: eat well? Julian Baggini takes us on a philosophical journey through our culinary habits and asks questions such as: how does the knowledge from a cookbook relate to the practical wisdom of an Italian mamma? How do we shop responsibly? What does what we eat say about ourselves? Can you eat meat with compassion?
Sharp and accessibly written, and peppered with delicious recipes and stories, this book makes us think - about the virtues of food, and the art of enjoyment.
