Klappentext

"Through multidisciplinary collaboration and autoethnographic reflection, the authors conceptualize the cultural ambitions, culinary identities, and political entanglements of Polish 'tastemakers' who (re)configure the historical and sensory qualities of local foods. A must-read for food scholars."--Cristina Grasseni, Professor of Anthropology, Leiden University "Much work looks at how 'traditional' foods become fashionable, but The Pierogi Problem goes deeper, unraveling the aspirations and anxieties tied up in the work of curating new Polish cuisine to fit twenty-first-century global trends, tastes, and digital spaces."--Michaela DeSoucey, author of Contested Tastes: Foie Gras and the Politics of Food
