The preparation, serving and eating of food have been studied from a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives. It is in this context that Jack Goody sets his own observations on cooking in West Africa, examining why a differentiated 'haute cuisine' has not emerged in Africa, as in other parts of the world.
