Résumé:
On a daily basis, tens of thousands of food products fight for our attention in supermarkets. It's a miracle that we seem to effortlessly choose what we want from the overwhelming supply. Designers play a crucial role in this. They 'package' food and change it into products that appeal, inform and seduce us. The designer is the indispensable mediator between the producer and us, the consumer. As artisans of alienation, designers make up stories, create illusions and dream images. ''Food Is Fiction'' places these stories in the context of the rise of the food industry and contemplating the future of food. From early advertising for classic brands such as Van Houten and Van Nelle, to food pornography, astronaut food and gastrophysics. On the basis of historical and contemporary visual material, this book also shows how the designer's language conforms to the spirit of the times, uses stereotypes and prejudices, or anticipates social changes.

Résumé:
Metcalfe follows a slice of New York pizza and a club sandwich through the food supply chain; considers local foods, global foods, and food deserts; investigates the processing, packaging, and storage of food; explores the transportation networks that connect farm to plate; and explains how food can be tracked using sensors and the Internet of Things.

New technologies can make the food system more efficient—but at what cost to our traditionally close relationship with food?

Résumé:
For many, cooking is simply the mechanical act of reproducing standard recipes. To Maryse Condé, however, cooking implies creativity and personal invention, on par with the complexity of writing a story. A cook, she explains, uses spices and flavors the same way an author chooses the music and meaning of words.

''Snacks'' is a history of Canadian snack foods, of the independent producers and workers who make them, and of the consumers who can’t put them down. Janis Thiessen profiles several iconic Canadian snack food companies, including Old Dutch Potato Chips, Hawkins Cheezies, and chocolate maker Ganong. These companies have developed in distinctive ways, reflecting the unique stories of their founders and their intense connection to specific locations. These stories of salty or sweet confections also reveal a history that is at odds with popular notions of ''junk food.'' Through extensive oral history and archival research, Thiessen uncovers the roots of our deep loyalties to different snack foods, what it means to be an independent snack food producer, and the often-quirky ways snacks have been created and marketed.
