In presenting a variety of theoretical and cross-cultural perspectives on pure food, this volume demonstrates similarities and variations in cultural beliefs, behaviours and practices in different societies. These in turn highlight that pure food is a common issue for humanity, whatever the society, whatever the era. As a subject with much contemporary and cross-disciplinary relevance, Pure Food will appeal to students and academics involved in any food-related discipline, to professional practitioners promoting healthier foods and nutrition and to general readers with an interest in food.

Paul Collinson is a Visiting Research Fellow and former Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University. He also works as a Senior Conflict Analyst for the UK Government. His publications include Food and Sustainability in the Twenty-First Century: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives (Berghahn, 2019) with Iain Young, Lucy Antal and Helen Macbeth.
