Released earlier this year and on a list of things I'd like to own; an anthology of essays from Gastronomica magazine.  From NYT:
 
Some of the topics: Christian diets, food in wartime, cooking’s effect on human evolution, seafood and caviar in Muslim dietary laws in Iran, food as clothing, a Bengali cooking implement called a bonti, profiles of a rice farmer in the Carolinas, food choices in Zambia as they relate to genetic modification, and egg creams.  There is also poetry and art.
