Food related book:Food and Culture in Contemporary American Fiction

The book I'm reading now is "Food and Culture in Contemporary American Fiction".

Reading so far, this book tells us about how food is used or thought in American Fiction.

Haven't read much of it, but I agreed to the part saying that cooking is thought to be woman's job, and when it comes to man who is cooking, it's not like household, it's more like professional thing. I think this is quite true, because in my house my mother did most of cooking too. Although she likes to cook, still, I think that's quite unfair thing. I'm always interested in gender issues so I'll try to keep my eyes on those topics in this book. This might be the reason I chose this book to read.

This restaurant is specialized in curry, so most of the menu is curry rice.

It's not going to take time to get there, so please try this curry rice in your university life:)
