Based on more than twenty years of research and the author's videos of everyday cooking techniques, this rich ethnography treats the kitchen as an environment in which people pursue tasks, display expertise, and confront culturally defined risks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Kalymnian islanders, both women and men, use food as a way of evoking personal and collective memory, creating an elaborate discourse on ingredients, tastes, and recipes. Author David E. Sutton focuses on micropractices in the kitchen, such as the cutting of onions, the use of a can opener, and the rolling of phyllo dough, along with cultural changes, such as the rise of televised cooking shows, to reveal new perspectives on the anthropology of everyday living.\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a beautifully written book that transports you into the heart of ordinary, everyday Greek life. David Sutton's method is innovative and his writing lucid. He draws readers into an intimate ethnographic adventure--an embodied and sensorial cultural immersion--in which they have the sense of inquiring and learning alongside him.--Laurie Kain Hart, Stinnes Professor of Global Studies and Professor of Anthropology, Haverford College \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eSecrets from the Greek Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e is yet another fine example of Sutton's ability to draw our attention to details that matter through insightful ethnography and engaging writing.
