Summary

Although South Asian cookery has transformed contemporary urban food consumption, anthropologists have paid little attention to this process. This wide-ranging collection of essays explores the relationship between globalization and South Asian history through food, covering the cuisine of colonialism and its material and symbolic meanings. Curried Culturesassumes a proximity to dishes and diets that is often missing when food is a lens to investigate other topics. The book's contributors look at food to comment on a range of cultural activities,, and argue that the practice of cooking matters as an important way of knowing the world and acting on it.
