The food-secure and/or privileged worldwide no longer eat and drink simply to maintain life itself. They have the advantage and choice to regard "sustenance" not just as fuel for the body/machine but as a source of pleasure and entertainment for the mind/intellect. This enhanced concept of "sustenance" embraces all the senses: visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and tactile, thus including not just food & drink but ceremonies & art forms dealing with them. This book explores the substantive ways food & drink impact human existence. The work comprises five parts: medicine; ceremonies; literature & cinema; art & artists; space/architecture & advertising/art. Food & drink start with the physical, morph into nutrition, the most basic requirements for organic life, but progress from the beginning of physical process to ceremony and expression. The result and the experience highlight physiological and sensual concepts, and indeed, preference. Food & drink staples are determined by geographic availability and cuisine & beverage are closely associated with culture & ethnicity. Contributor exploration is wide-ranging: Aztec, Mexican & Spanish medicine; African & Roman Catholic rites; cookbook discourse and socio-gender influence; literature, including cultural comparisons of cooking and cooks; preparation & representation of food & drink as artistic endeavours, including by Latin American women, and types of inspirational "fodder", especially in the context of Picasso's art in Spain & France, & Spanish wine museums & labelling. Sustenance for the Body & Soul is the seventh book in the Hispanic Worlds series, details of which are available on the press website.

In Wat is eetbaar? laat Adel den Hartog zien hoe complex de voedselkeuzes van mensen al millennia lang zijn. Wie zich afvraagt waarom wij eten wat wij eten, komt uit bij praktische zaken als de beschikbaarheid van producten, transport en kosten, maar ziet ook fysiologische, culturele, geografische, en psychologische factoren. Den Hartog wijst op het belang van de toegang die individuen en groepen hebben tot voedsel, en van hun sociaaleconomische positie.Kan iemand worden overtuigd om iets te eten dat deze persoon als oneetbaar ziet? In het boek staan vele voorbeelden van onze geringe flexibiliteit, of die nu wordt ingegeven door een intolerantie met een genetische oorsprong, of doordat wat onbekend was, ook onbemind bleef. Voedingsgewoonten reageren traag op interventies, maar gebruiken kunnen veranderen. Zo is een vleesloze maaltijd tegenwoordig geen teken van armoede meer.Het boek zal de algemeen cultureel geïnteresseerde lezer aanspreken. Het is geschikt als handboek voor wie de achtergrond van onze eetgewoonten wil begrijpen. De kennis uit het boek is uitstekend te gebruiken bij een scala aan interventies op het gebied van voeding en leefstijl.
