 Food, Culture & Society has really become the benchmark journal for the field of Food Studies—and in such a short time. Harry West, Chair, SOAS Food Studies Centre & Reader, School of Oriental and African Studies, London, UK

 This is an interesting and sophisticated journal that publishes cutting edge research on the complex intersection between food and culture and society. It is a primary publication venue in this substantive area. Alessandro Bonanno, Distinguished Professor and Department Chair, Department of Sociology, Sam Houston State University, USA

 Food, Culture and Society is a welcome scholarly presence for anyone interested in the many aspects of the study of food and drink. The journal provides a noteworthy opportunity for researchers to share their perspectives in this rapidly expanding field.
 Carolyn Korsmeyer, Professor, Department of Philosophy, University at Buffalo (SUNY), USA
