Everyday foodways are a powerful means of drawing boundaries between social groups and defining who we are and where we belong. This book draws upon auto/biographical food narratives and emphasises the power of everyday foodways in maintaining and reinforcing social divisions along the lines of gender and class.
"Julie M. Parsons' Gender, Class and Food is a welcome addition to this literature. ... this book demonstrates how foodways are shaped by gender and class. Written in an accessible style and incorporating a broad range of literature without falling into the trap of sociological jargon, it is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate courses in food studies and sociology."

"Concerned with examining food 'memories' and the socio-cultural contexts in which these are formed, this British sociologist employs a qualitative method not often seen in food studies: computer-mediated communication. ... Parsons solicits and analyzes 75 auto/biographical food narratives from individuals residing in the United Kingdom. ... an important and timely read, a noteworthy contribution to the research trajectory set by DeVault (1991)."
