As the Director of Gastronomy at Boston University, and the author of five books about food and culture, Megan J. Elias helps us understand how food trends impact what we consume. She makes the compelling—and slightly terrifying—argument that our taste is not our own, thus forcing each of us to ask tough questions about our presumptuous understanding of what makes our food system equitable. Her most recent book, Food on the Page, is a history of American cookbooks.
