Recenzii

“This text ultimately excels in approaching an often misunderstood region from a novel perspective, providing fresh insights into old questions, and is recommended for scholars and graduate students working on the history or anthropology of food, or interested in alternative histories of the Mediterranean, Ottoman, Arab, and Islamic worlds.”

J. Alkorani, University of Toronto in: CHOICE connect, Volume 57, No.9 (2020).

“Sollte das Genre der kulturwissenschaftlichen kulinarischen Erforschung in nächster Zeit noch weiter blühen – ich sehe keine gegenteiligen Tendenzen – werden sich zukünftig dafür Interessierte aus dem Band Insatiable Appetite viele fruchtbare Anregungen holen können.“

Bert G. Fragner, The Institute of Iranian studies of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in: Wiener Zeitschrift für die Kunde des Morgenlandes, Volume 111 (2021).
