A study of the senses focusing on social rituals and meal-making and meal-sharing - "Just arrived, a traveler bounds without direction, filled with inextinguishable drive and awe, until feet weigh heavy and head and stomach spin for they can't remember the last time they slept, or ate for that matter, and now flung back, near stumbling with exhaustion, with hunger pangs screaming for acknowledgment, the traveler, now lost, finds themselves surrounded by, assaulted by, teased by the discomfort food, and so they must decide to taste, participate, and venture, or anxiously search on for the edible familiar." Illustrated with Archival Ink jet Photographs. Recipes included.
