"In this magnificent book, Warde justifies a social scientific approach to provisioning and food consumption, supported by reams of data ... an essential teaching tool for courses on food consumption." Krishnendu Ray, NYU Steinhardt "A unique revelatory analysis that disrupts common assumptions and identifies continuities and changes in the 'what, when and why' of British everyday eating in the post-war era."


Julia Brannen, Professor Emerita, UCL
