Subjective Risk and Contingent Temporalities in the Greek KitchenConclusion: Take the RiskReferencesIndex Review "With writing that is highly readable, clear, and well-paced, this book will appeal to students and scholars alike, especially those studying food and cooking, Greece, and risk, and is an exceptional example of studying food practices for their theoretical bounty." • Food, Culture & Society"It is a highly readable and conceptually rich book drawing on material from ethnographic work in Kalymnos, Greece, and popular culture in the USA. It beautifully wedges current discussions about cooking into the stream of scholarly discussion in Cultural Anthropology and Cultural Sociology." • Krishnendu Ray, New York University"This book constitutes a moment in which the systematic and long-standing knowledge of [the authors] field, and the very rewarding trajectory of fieldwork over the years, has now reached a point when they can produce anthropological knowledge of another level." • Vassiliki Yiakoumaki, University of Thessaly, Greece Details ISBN1805391135 Author David E.
