Food for Thought: A Philosopher's CookbookJuta and Company Ltd, 2004 - 160 sider A reissue of a classic South African cookbook, which is at the same time a book of profound wisdom and great delight. Martin Versveld was a man of many parts and philosopher of renown and, in this work he provides stimulation and, quite literally, food for thought. If it offers new insights into what may be termed the semiotics of gastronomy, it also transcends our customary systems of thought to become an inquiry into human values." |
