| Abstract | "This book offers a new approach to the evolving genre of films that center on the acts of eating and cooking, from the classics to later box-office hits. The author explores significant tropes, including the transcultural feast and the obsessive chef, to reveal how these films construct vicarious pleasure for the viewers who consume them"-- Provided by publisher. |
