Synopsis

Food and Superstitions explores the fascinating and often surprising world of food-related beliefs and taboos across different cultures and throughout history. It reveals how seemingly irrational customs, religious dietary laws, and historical events have profoundly shaped global eating habits and culinary traditions. For instance, many cultures avoid certain foods due to deeply ingrained religious beliefs while others believe particular dishes can bring good fortune. The book emphasizes that these food choices are not arbitrary but deeply rooted expressions of cultural identity and historical memory.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining historical analysis, cultural anthropology, and religious studies to examine the origins and evolution of these beliefs. It progresses from introducing fundamental concepts, like the definition of food taboos and the functions of food rituals, to specific case studies from various regions, such as religious dietary laws in Judaism and Islam, and prohibitions on eating certain animals in parts of Africa and Asia.

 
By understanding these cross-cultural nuances, readers can foster greater cross-cultural understanding and appreciate the diversity of culinary traditions worldwide.

    ‘Joyful, life-affirming, greedy. I loved it’ – DIANA HENRY 
    ‘Whether you are an avid cyclist, a Francophile, a greedy gut, or simply an appreciator of impeccable writing – this book will get you hooked’ – YOTAM OTTOLENGHI 
    The nation’s ‘taster in chief’ cycles 2,300 km across France in search of the definitive versions of classic French dishes. 
    A green bike drunkenly weaves its way up a cratered hill in the late-morning sun, the gears grinding painfully, like a pepper mill running on empty. The rider crouched on top in a rictus of pain has slowed to a gravity-defying crawl when, from somewhere nearby, the whine of a nasal engine breaks through her ragged breathing. 
    A battered van appears behind her, the customary cigarette dangling from its driver’s-side window… as he passes, she casually reaches down for some water, smiling broadly in the manner of someone having almost too much fun. ‘No sweat,’ she says jauntily to his retreating exhaust pipe. ‘Pas de problème, monsieur.’ 
    A land of glorious landscapes, and even more glorious food, France is a place built for cycling and for eating, too – a country large enough to give any journey an epic quality, but with a bakery on every corner. Here, you can go from beach to mountain, Atlantic to Mediterranean, polder to Pyrenees, and taste the difference every time you stop for lunch. If you make it to lunch, that is… 
    Part travelogue, part food memoir, all love letter to France, One More Croissant for the Road follows ‘the nation’s taster in chief’ Felicity Cloake’s very own Tour de France, cycling 2,300km across France in search of culinary perfection; from Tarte Tatin to Cassoulet via Poule au Pot, and Tartiflette. Each of the 21 ‘stages’ concludes with Felicity putting this new found knowledge to good use in a fresh and definitive recipe for each dish – the culmination of her rigorous and thorough investigative work on behalf of all of our taste buds. 
    This book is a special recreation of regional and ethnic French cooking, as Felicity Cloake travels across Europe, sharing her interest in food through engaging narratives and essays. Her passion for cooking and sports like cycling makes this book one of the best in its genre. 
    For fans of Anna Mcnuff (Barefoot Britain), David Lebovitz (My Paris Kitchen), Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France), Jane Bertch (The French Ingredient), and Samin Nosrat (Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat).

    Born in South Kurdistan, Pary Baban was forced to flee her home village of Qaladzê, resulting in a nine-day trek, travelling from village to village, where she learned to cook by collecting recipes from the people she encountered.
