Are we what we eat? What does food reveal about how we live and how we think of ourselves in relation to others? Why do people have a strong attachment to their own cuisine and an aversion to the foodways of others?

Using Japan as an example, she proposes a new cross-cultural model for the interpretation of the self and other.
