Gastronomica

by

The Gastronomica podcast is where the academic field of food studies meets a public appetite for gastronomy and the culinary arts. Tune in to hear interviews with authors whose articles or books have recently been featured in the journal (published by University of California Press since 2001), as we showcase diverse voices in the food world, tackle complex questions about cooking, cuisine, culinary traditions, food justice and equity. Each episode is hosted by a member of the journal’s Editorial Collective, representing food scholars, perspectives, and disciplines from around the world. Gastronomica’s theme song is by Robert T. Valgenti and mixed by Samuel N. Ortiz. ​ The photo, “A Wise Crack,” is by Carl Fleischhauer.
