Ways of Eating, written by Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft and Merry White, is an excellent example of a book that is both scholarly and accessible.

I listened to the audiobook and found it to be engaging and well organized. Since I am no longer in academia the audio version was ideal for me, I don't need to refer to it or get accurate quotes for my own work, simply enjoy learning about the intersection of food, agriculture, history, culture, and politics. This is also one of those books that will reward a repeat listen, and likely a reread in the case of the written version.

If you have an interest in food and want to understand a little more about how what we eat fits with how we live, you will enjoy this book. Well-researched but also very accessible for any reader with an interest, while still offering great insight for any scholar in the area.

Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
