Sommario/riassunto: An anthropological study of food. It focuses on taste and flavour using an original interpretation of Alfred Gell's theory of the 'art nexus'. Grounded in ethnography, it explores the notion of cooking as an embodied skill and artistic practice. It examines the integral role and concept of 'flavour' in everyday life.
