Foodways can encompass practices relating to sourcing and growing food, the traditions behind certain recipes, and the relationships that shared meals have to broader ceremonies, rituals, and customs. Sharing Food, Sharing Culture shares the wealth of cultural documentation about community-based foodways found in the collections of the American Folklife Center (AFC) at the Library of Congress. The publication also features the unparalleled expertise of AFC staff alongside external perspectives from foodways scholars and practitioners.

Featuring unique and rich examples of foodways anchored in communities across the country, this volume brings to light economic, social, environmental, and historical intersections of food production, eating habits, and the preservation of culture across generations.
