“Each One, Teach One”
“At the kitchen we were given a metal plate with steaming hot porridge and we had to carry it while being chased towards our cells in “B” section. Our hands were burning, our feet were being torn, and blows fell on our heads, shoulders and backs as we rushed along. The warders lashed out at us with batons and pieces of rubber hosepipe, leaving us alone for only five minutes while we tried to gulp down the scalding porridge. We did not even have s…
At the Table’s Edge
On December 6, 2024, Gastronomica’s Editorial Collective met at Victoria College, the University of Toronto, for our annual members meeting. As part of the program, we organized a special roundtable on commensality, a topic often engaged by journal contributors. Proposed by H.

Fad diets are nothing new. But fad diets peddled by celebrities in this unique media climate—aptly described by French sociologist Claude Fischler as a “dietary cacophony” thanks to its often conflicting and therefore confusing messages—are a novelty and, as argued in this article, an unfortunate one. From celebrity foodies like Gwyneth Paltrow recommending home-made detox plans to television nutritionists prescribing alternative therapies for al…
Food “Porn” in Media
Food Media
There have been famous chefs for centuries. But it was not until the second half of the twentieth century that the modern celebrity chef business really began to flourish, thanks largely to advances in media such as television which allowed ever-greater numbers of people to tune in. Food Media charts the growth of this enormous entertainment industry, and also how, under the threat of the obesity "epidemic," some of its stars have taken on new au…
