Learning to Eat: What Families Teach Us About Food and Why it Matters

Edited by Caroline Grant and Lisa Catherine Harper

LEARNING TO EAT is an anthology of original essays about how we learn–and re-learn—to eat, and why our eating habits matter to our lives beyond the table. In these pages, over 30 writers consider the people, events, and circumstances that have forged their relationship to food. There are no manifestos here, no how-to’s, and no step-by-step guides to better eating—though there are dozens of terrific, original recipes. These food writers, journalists, parents, and chefs weigh in on the meals they make and those they avoid, consider the daily habits that make up their family food culture, and reflect on what food means in their lives and for their families.
