Reviews

"His [Jurafsky's] decoding of food-related texts is the most original aspect of a work that is entertaining and revealing throughout."
*The Economist*

"...hugely entertaining book..."
*The Independent*

"Deliciously erudite."
*Nature*

"This book won’t put dinner on the table, but it just might improve how you order in a restaurant."
*Tony Turnbull, Christmas Round-ups 2014 - The Times*

"I found The Language of Food eye-opening, insightful and huge fun to read, with surprises and treats on every page."
*Bee Wilson*

"What [Dan Jurafsky] doesn't know about the etymology of food and catering is not worth knowing...[his] deconstruction of a menu...is an object lesson in food PR."
*The Independent*
