I think this would be a great book, even 4 stars if you already had any basis to culinary anthropology. While it was interesting and a pretty quick read, I would not say it’s accessible to the average person and i found myself getting lost to references that were not nearly explained enough. 
Also, i would recommend reading on paper, the audiobook narrator does super distracting accents for all of the quotes which makes them hard to understand.
Listened to on Libby.
