Gastronomica

Gastronomica is the journal for important conversations about food.

Since its inception in 2001, Gastronomica has been the go-to journal for important conversations about food. With its diverse voices, cross-disciplinary mix of articles, and cross-cultural orientation, Gastronomica takes food as a starting point to probe timely and necessary questions about the role of food in everyday life. Through studies of historical trends and transformations in food and eati

ng, analyses of the political, economic, and social dimensions of food production and consumption, research briefs on emerging issues in fields related to food research and innovation, creative reflections on the aesthetic qualities of food, and interviews with key figures in the world of food (scholars, activists, producers, and consumers), Gastronomica is at the forefront of the dynamic world of critical inquiry and debate about food.

We celebrate the beginning of Gastronomica's 25th year with this gorgeous issue edited by Krishnendu Ray, one of the founding members of the Editorial Collective that took over the journal's editorship in 2019. Even as he moves on from the Collective, Dr. Ray will forever be a friend to the journal, and a titan of food studies.

Thank you, Krishnendu, for the beautiful parting gift.

From its origins, Food Studies has wrestled with the idea that "you are what you eat" and the related "you are with whom you eat."

This roundtable, celebrating 25 years of Gastronomica, traces how the field and this journal have transformed questions of commensality and identity.

Join us in person at the University of Toronto or online on Friday 6 December from 3-5pm (EST) to hear the Editorial Collective of Gastronomica engage with growing attention to global and situated issues of caste, mobility, race, and exclusion to revisit classic food studies' attention to the work of commensality and the intimacies and dangers of eating together.

Food stood at the center of Mussolini's attempt to occupy Ethiopia and build an Italian Empire in East Africa.

Join our resident philosopher Bob Valgenti in conversation with Evelyn Lambeth about her upcoming article in issue 24.2 (watch this space for the full Table of Contents and Editor's Letter as soon as they drop!).

They talk about why beef (imported by British "settlers" in the eighteenth century) is more likely on a modern Australian menu than kangaroo or wallaby (native to the region), and how to think about such manifestations of colonial history in terms of "adaptation" and "edibility." And much more!
