Rezensionen

(Gastronomica, Fall 2008)
"It turns out that not only have reputable psychologists at well-respected institutions done experimental studies on this effect, but it also serves as a kind of foul point for various philosophical questions. The works set out to address the intersection between philosophy and areas of everyday general concern: food, wine, and beer. In addition to straightforward philosophical discussions, the volumes include historical discussions, legal questions, some personal reflections."

(Gourmet Retailer)
"A truly well rounded view...and a critical reflection on what and how we eat can contribute to a robust enjoyment of gastronomic pleasures."

"Food & Philosophy: What a rare and brilliant book! Certainly chefs must be aware of precise technique, privy to the science behind cooking, and reverent of pristine and seasonal product. But now, more than ever, if a culinarian is even attempting to achieve greatness, he or she must be immersed in the basic premise of 'Why we celebrate food!' This profound work should be required reading, not just for those of us involved in the culinary arts, but for everyone interested in food."

-Charlie Trotter, Gourmet Chef

"Food & Philosophy offers tasty insight into the worlds of gastronomy and wisdom, and shows why these two ingredients are not mutually exclusive. Offering everything from 'Vegetarianism and Dietary Choice' to 'Picky Eating is a Moral Failing,' this book's menu has something for everyone, and is bound to awaken your mind's taste buds!"

-Graham Elliot Bowles, Chef de Cuisine, Avenues

"Food & Philosophy is a book we're very happy to keep at our bedside for late-night reflection and indeed inspirational 'food for thought.'"

-Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page, authors of Becoming a Chef
