Lick It: Challenge the Way You Experience Food - Paperback

by Vogelzang Marije (Author)

Through 24 unique challenges, a diverse range of angles, and detailed insights into the world of food design, Lick It will radically transform your relationship to food.

Whether mealtimes are your favourite part of the day or you're in the camp of 'eat to live' rather than 'live to eat, this book will help you reshape how you think about food. Much more than just body fuel, food is political, it's social, it's exciting and constantly shifting and changing.

With a striking balance between creative tools and cutting-edge theory, these 30 chapters will examine everything from food politics and sex to hunger and queer food. Lick It is not a cookbook. Rather, it's an ultimate food experience, helping you challenge your mind and expand your mouth.
