Recenzje

Eat, Drink, Think provides a clear vision of how food and wine impact our ways of thinking and socializing, making audiences hungry for knowledge, philosophy, and discussion. Through his book, Roochnik not only builds timely connections between food and social interactions, but also highlights the innermost thoughts of academics - thus making Eat, Drink, Think a portal into scholarly culture and into our own minds.
