Realted project:
The British Local Fish Cooker
This book is a horizontal research of cod eaten in UK. Reviewing the history and now days data, it demonstrate a trans-temporal territory of British constructed LOCAL. From the fish & chips recipe brought by Jewish migrants to the British long distance fishing industry, the material and relations are interlacing at distance meanwhile forming a map beyond LOCAL. By means of the glocalization theory, this book reviewed the nonlinear expansions of territory happened in food system.
