Ideal as an introduction to the main strands of methods that are used in food studies (...) Several sections within this book will almost certainly constitute required reading for final year undergraduate students (...) Similary, it will be extremely useful for first year postgraduates embarking on Masters or PhD research. Joseph Burridge for Revue d'Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement
