Food and Everyday Life provides a qualitative, interpretive, and interdisciplinary examination of food and food practices and their meanings in the modern world.

Edited by Thomas M. Conroy, the book offers a number of complementary approaches and topics around the parameters of the "ordinary, everyday" perspective on food.

These studies highlight aspects of food production, distribution, and consumption, as well as the discourse on food.

Chapters discuss examples ranging from the cultural meanings of food as represented on television, to the practices of food budgeting, to the cultural politics of such practices as sustainable brewing and developing new forms of urban agriculture.

A number of the studies focus on the relationships between food, eating practices, and the body.

Each chapter examines a particular (and in many instances, highly unique) food practice, and each includes some key details of that practice.

Taken together, the chapters show us how the everyday practices of food are both familiar and, yet at the same time, ripe for further discovery.
