This book reconstructs and extends sociological approaches to the understanding of food consumption. It identifies new ways to approach the explanation of food choice and it develops new concepts which will help reshape and reorient common understandings.

Eating Out, first published in 2000, is a fascinating study of the consumption of food outside the home. Through recent in-depth research in English cities, the authors have collected a wealth of information into people's attitudes towards, and expectations of, eating out as a form of entertainment and an expression of taste and status.
