This anthology of eleven original essays, edited by Sherrie Inness, focuses on American women's experiences with ethnic food and their cravings for exotic dishes like pilaf (Middle Eastern rice), pozole (Mexican stew), and pad thai (Thai-style noodles). In part 1, the authors reminisce about foods from within their ethnic groups, whereas the essays in part 2 discuss what happens when people cross ethnic lines and embark on food adventuring. Inness explains that the theme tying the collection together is that eating ethnic has repercussions that morally implicate everyone
