Although the literature supports the view that there is a connection between tourism and gastronomy, little is known about gastronomy tourists. For example, is there a gastronomy-tourism market segment? Does a destination's gastronomy contribute to the tourists' quality of experiences while visiting the destination? Do tourists return to the destination to resample its gastronomy? This study was undertaken in Hong Kong, which is arguably a city destination that offers unique and diverse gastronomy. The results of the study provide evidence suggesting that motivation to travel for gastronomy reasons is a valid construct. Also, the results of the data analysis reveal that gastronomy plays a major role in the way tourists experience the destination, and indicate that some travelers would return to the same destination to savor its unique gastronomy. Implications for practitioners are also discussed.

It approaches … This article uses claims about the local globalization of culinary culture to stage an argument about the character of material cultural geographies and their spaces of identity practice. It approaches these geographies in two ways. First, it views foods not only as placed cultural artefacts, but also as dis-placed materials and practices, inhabiting many times and spaces which, far from being neatly bounded, bleed into and mutually constitute each other. Second, it considers the geographical knowledges, or understandings, of foods' geo graphies, mobilized within circuits of culinary culture, outlining their pro duction through processes of commodity fetishism, and arguing for forms of critical intervention that work with the fetish rather than attempt to reach behind it.

While Harris has developed and modified some of his ideas over the past two decades, generations of professors have looked to this volume as the essential starting point for explaining the science of culture to students. Now available again after a hiatus, this edition of Cultural Materialism contains the complete text of the original book plus a new introduction by Orna and Allen Johnson that updates his ideas and examines the impact that the book and theory have had on anthropological theorizing.

This paper draws on research from two UK regions, the Lake District and Exmoor, to argue that local food can play an important role in the sustainable tourism experience because it appeals to the visitor's desire for authenticity within the holiday experience. Using evidence from qualitative interviews with tourists and food producers, the paper records ways in which local foods are conceptualised as "authentic" products that symbolise the place and culture of the destination. By engaging with debates surrounding the meaning of locality and authenticity, the paper challenges existing understandings of these concepts and offers a new way forward for tourism research by arguing that "local food" has the potential to enhance the visitor experience by connecting consumers to the region and its perceived culture and heritage.

Experimental taste tests of 9 vegetables were tried on 39 children; they were asked to taste each one, decide whether it tasted good, bad, or OK, and then were helped to rank them by preference. The next step was to determine the effects of social influence by peers--this was done in a lunch-room situation where one child with a strong preference was placed with 3 peers of opposite tastes for 4 days. Data was obtained on 17 different subjects in 17 situations. The first step was then repeated. The target children showed a distinct increase in preference for previously spurned food, as well as a decrease in desire for the favorite vegetable, though not of an equal amount. The social influence thus demonstrated indicates that children will learn to accept a broader range of foods when exposed to preferences other than their own

As … This paper analyses the transformation and redefinition of local identity in rural France from the perspective of heritage – more precisely food and gastronomy – and local rural tourism. As an identity marker of a geographic area and/or as a means of promoting farm products, gastronomy meets the specific needs of consumers, local producers and other actors in rural tourism. The paper considers the meaning of food from a theoretical perspective. The current interest in traditional food and cuisine is part of a general desire for authentic experiences. At the regional level, the dynamics of building up heritage consist in actualizing, adapting, and re-interpreting elements from the past, thus combining conservation and innovation. Local development can be seen as a process of territorial and heritage construction. Culinary heritage is a social construction and an important resource for local action. The paper examines the case of the Haut Plateau de l’Aubrac (Central France), where the local development process is closely linked to the valorization and the re-creation of gastronomic knowledge and skill.

The way any given human group eats helps it assert its diversity, hierarchy and organisation, but also, at the same time, both its oneness and the otherness of whoever eats differently. Food is also central to individual identity, in that any given human individual is constructed, biologically, psychologically and socially by the foods he/she choses to incorporate. This paper is intended as a speculative survey of the ways in which food is related to identity formation.

Hailed by Time magazine as a minor masterpiece when it first appeared in 1984, On Food and Cooking is the bible to which food lovers and professional chefs worldwide turn for an understanding of where our foods come from, what exactly they're made of, and how cooking transforms them into something new and delicious. For its twentieth anniversary, Harold McGee prepared a new, fully revised and updated edition of On Food and Cooking. He has rewritten the text almost completely, expanded it by two-thirds, and commissioned more than 100 new illustrations. As compulsively readable and engaging as ever, the new On Food and Cooking provides countless eye-opening insights into food, its preparation, and its enjoyment. On Food and Cooking pioneered the translation of technical food science into cook-friendly kitchen science and helped birth the inventive culinary movement known as molecular gastronomy. Though other books have been written about kitchen science, On Food and Cooking remains unmatched in the accuracy, clarity, and thoroughness of its explanations, and the intriguing way in which it blends science with the historical evolution of foods and cooking techniques. Among the major themes addressed throughout the new edition are: - Traditional and modern methods of food production and their influences on food quality - The great diversity of methods by which people in different places and times have prepared the same ingredients - Tips for selecting the best ingredients and preparing them successfully - The particular substances that give foods their flavors, and that give us pleasure - Our evolving knowledge of the health benefits and risks of foods On Food and Cooking is an invaluable and monumental compendium of basic information about ingredients, cooking methods, and the pleasures of eating. It will delight and fascinate anyone who has ever cooked, savored, or wondered about food.

They combine the sturdy pragmatic virtues of all manuals with the vicarious pleasures of the literature of the senses. They reflect shifts in the boundaries of edibility, the proprieties of the culinary process, the logic of meals, the exigencies of the household budget, the vagaries of the market, and the structure of domestic ideologies. The existence of cookbooks presupposes not only some degree of literacy, but often an effort on the part of some variety of specialist to standardize the regime of the kitchen, to transmit culinary lore, and to publicize particular traditions guid- ing the journey of food from marketplace to kitchen to table. Insofar as cookbooks reflect the kind of technical and cultural elaboration we grace with the term cuisine, they are likely, as Jack Goody has recently argued, to be representations not only of structures of production and distribution and of social and cosmological schemes, but of class and hierarchy (1982). Their spread is an important sign of what Norbert Elias has called “the civilizing process” (1978). The increased interest of historians and anthropologists in cookbooks should therefore come as no surprise (Chang 1977; Cosman 1976; Khare 1976a, 1976b).

Borges's book could be taken as the spa ce of time: A page once seen is never seen again, and the book's harried possessors keep trying to escape its monstrous self-production by surrepti­ tiously selling or losing it. The diffuse, endlessly multiplying studies of sociocultural time reflect time's pervasiveness as an inescapable dimension of all aspects of social experience and practice.

Much of the uncertainty about this area has been generated by conceptual confusion about the nature of knowledge and behaviours, and, nutrition knowledge and food behaviours in particular. So the paper describes several key concepts in some detail. The main argument is that ‘nutrition knowledge’ is a necessary but not sufficient factor for changes in consumers’ food behaviours. Several classes of food behaviours and their causation are discussed. They are influenced by a number of environmental and intra‐individual factors, including motivations. The interplay between motivational factors and information processing is important for nutrition promoters as is the distinction between declarative and procedural knowledge. Consideration of the domains of nutrition knowledge shows that their utility is likely to be related to consumers’ and nutritionists’ particular goals and viewpoints. A brief survey of the recent literature shows that the evidence for the influence of nutrition knowledge on food behaviours is mixed. Nevertheless, recent work suggests that nutrition knowledge may play a small but pivotal role in the adoption of healthier food habits. The implications of this overview for public health nutrition are: (i) We need to pay greater attention to the development of children's and adults’ knowledge frameworks (schema building); (ii) There is a need for a renewed proactive role for the education sector; (iii) We need to take account of consumers’ personal food goals and their acquisition of procedural knowledge which will enable them to attain their goals; (iv) Finally, much more research into the ways people learn and use food‐related knowledge is required in the form of experimental interventions and longitudinal studies.

This review notes landmark … ▪ Abstract The study of food and eating has a long history in anthropology, beginning in the nineteenth century with Garrick Mallery and William Robertson Smith. This review notes landmark studies prior to the 1980s, sketching the history of the subfield. We concentrate primarily, however, on works published after 1984. We contend that the study of food and eating is important both for its own sake since food is utterly essential to human existence (and often insufficiently available) and because the subfield has proved valuable for debating and advancing anthropological theory and research methods. Food studies have illuminated broad societal processes such as political-economic value-creation, symbolic value-creation, and the social construction of memory. Such studies have also proved an important arena for debating the relative merits of cultural and historical materialism vs. structuralist or symbolic explanations for human behavior, and for refining our understanding of variation in informants' responses to ethnographic questions. Seven subsections examine classic food ethnographies: single commodities and substances; food and social change; food insecurity; eating and ritual; eating and identities; and instructional materials. The richest, most extensive anthropological work among these subtopics has focused on food insecurity, eating and ritual, and eating and identities. For topics whose anthropological coverage has not been extensive (e.g., book-length studies of single commodities, or works on the industrialization of food systems), useful publications from sister disciplines—primarily sociology and history—are discussed.

It is in the context of this previous anthropological work that Jack Goody sets his own observations on cooking in West Africa. He criticises those approaches which overlook the comparative historical dimension of culinary, and other, cultural differences that emerge in class societies, both of which elements he particularly emphasises in this book. The central question that Professor Goody addresses here is why a differentiated 'haute cuisine' has not emerged in Africa, as it has in other parts of the world. His account of cooking in West Africa is followed by a survey of the culinary practices of the major Eurasian societies throughout history - ranging from Ancient Egypt, Imperial Rome and medieval China to early modern Europe - in which he relates the differences in food preparation and consumption emerging in these societies to differences in their socio-economic structures, specifically in modes of production and communication. He concludes with an examination of the world-wide rise of 'industrial food' and its impact on Third World societies, showing that the ability of the latter to resist cultural domination in food, as in other things, is related to the nature of their pre-existing socio-economic structures. The arguments presented here will interest all social scientists and historians concerned with cultural history and social theory.

This study aimed to … Dietarian identity reflects an individual’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral orientation toward the consumption or avoidance of animal-based foods, including red meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy. This study aimed to adapt and validate the Dietarian Identity Questionnaire (DIQ) for Turkish-speaking populations by establishing its cultural and linguistic suitability and examining dietarian identity profiles among different dietary patterns. The DIQ was adapted into Turkish and administered via a web-based survey to 487 Turkish-speaking adults (Mean age = 28.9 ± 10.7 years; 34.7% male, 64.1% female, and 1.2% non-binary). Participants were categorized as omnivores, vegetarians, or vegans based on self-reported dietary exclusions. Structural validity was assessed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, while internal consistency, composite reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated through Cronbach’s alpha and average variance extracted. Group differences across dietary identity profiles were examined using ANOVA, and interrelationships among the DIQ-Turkish (DIQ-T) subscales were explored through Pearson correlation analysis. The results indicated that the eight-factor DIQ-T demonstrated a strong model fit (χ2 (465) =1841.45, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.924, TLI = 0.914, RMSEA = 0.078, SRMR = 0.050), confirming its structural validity. Reliability analysis indicated high internal consistency across all subscales, and significant differences were observed between omnivores and vegan/vegetarian groups across multiple dimensions (p < 0.001), highlighting distinct psychological and motivational patterns associated with dietarian identity. These findings support DIQ-T as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing dietarian identity, providing a valuable tool for researchers and health professionals investigating dietary behaviors and their potential implications for public health and nutrition interventions.

Bu değişim, işletmelere ev sahibi ülkelerin sınırlarını aşarak diğer ülkelere yayılma fırsatları sunmaktadır. Fast food sektörü, diğer sektörler gibi bu süreçte öncü bir rol üstlenmiştir. Tüketicilerin kültürel bağlılıkları, yeniliklere açıklıkları, uluslararası mutfaklara ilgileri ve çeşitlilik arayışları gibi sosyo-psikolojik faktörler, fast food tercihlerinde belirleyici bir role sahiptir. Bu çalışma, etnosentrizm, kozmopolitanizm, çeşitlilik arayışı ve yenilikçilik faktörlerinin Çinli tüketiciler arasındaki ABD fast food ürünlerini satın alma niyeti üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Araştırmada, 16 yaş ve üzeri tüketicilerden oluşan bir örnekleme anket uygulanmış ve veriler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, etnosentrizm ve çeşitlilik arayışının satın alma niyetleri üzerinde pozitif etkiler yarattığını; ancak kozmopolitanizm ve yenilikçiliğin belirli durumlarda satın alma davranışlarını sınırlayabildiğini göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, fast food sektöründe faaliyet gösteren işletmelerin pazarlama stratejilerinde sosyo-psikolojik faktörleri dikkate almalarının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışma, Çin pazarına giriş yapmak isteyen işletmelere stratejik bir rehber niteliği taşımaktadır.

These residential events, where children and young people greatly outnumber responsible adults, are shaped by the need for sustenance, shelter, purpose, and a sense of belonging; this amounts to a huge amount of physical and emotional labour. Amid (perhaps because of) these conditions, the Woodcraft Folk model of clans creates significant displays of creative collaboration, joint problem solving, and peer-to-peer support. The experiences of Wivenhoe Woodcraft Folk in Essex suggests the perennial obstacles to and opportunities of co-operation play out most positively in tiny ad‑hoc field kitchens, embedding a habit of collaborative thinking and acting in our young people.

Gastronomi, yalnızca yeme içme faaliyetlerinden ibaret olmayan; tarihsel, kültürel ve sosyolojik yönleriyle bireysel ve toplumsal kimliğin bir parçası olarak değerlendirilmekte, kültürel etkileşimin önemli bir aracı olarak kabul edilmektedir. Gastronomi turizmi ise, özgün lezzetleri deneyimleme amacıyla yapılan seyahatleri kapsayan, turizm çeşitliliğini artıran ve destinasyonlara ekonomik değer kazandıran alternatif bir turizm çeşididir. Çalışmada, gastro turist profili detaylı biçimde ele alınmakta; bu turistlerin kültürel ve estetik motivasyonlarla seyahat ettikleri, yerel mutfaklarla etkileşim kurma arzusuyla hareket ettikleri belirtilmektedir. Ayrıca, gastronomi festivalleri ve müzeleri gibi unsurların gastronomi turizmini destekleyen stratejik araçlar olduğu vurgulanmakta; coğrafi işaretlerin ise yöresel ürünlerin korunması, markalaşması ve tanıtımı açısından önemli rol oynadığı ifade edilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, gastronomi turizmi, bireysel tüketimden çok daha fazlasını içeren; yerel kalkınmayı destekleyen, kültürel sürekliliği sağlayan ve sürdürülebilir turizme katkı sunan kapsamlı bir alan olarak değerlendirilmektedir.

Biorąc za punkt wyjścia niezwykłość grekańskiego krajobrazu oraz fakt, że interakcje z nim były kluczowe dla wcześniejszych badaczy regionu, chciałabym zaproponować nową praktykę ucieleśnionego badania kulturoznawczego i grekańskiego aktywizmu: zapośredniczone medialnie kolarstwo. Wykorzystuję narzędzia autoetnografii oraz dane z serwisu Strava, aby rozważyć, jakie są możliwości kolarstwa jako metody wytwarzania zaangażowanej wiedzy o regionie grekańskim oraz konstytuowania tożsamości badaczki. W rozważaniach towarzyszą mi Bruno Kartuz, filozoficzny postulat andare piano Franka Cassano oraz wiersze Giovanniego Favasuliego i Salvina Nucery.

It incorporates ethnic restaurant servicescape and physical evidence to better understand how young tourists, who have become an ever-growing market, shape their postexperience behavior in ethnic restaurants. Design/methodology/approach In the first stage, the data were collected based on 30 days of observations of around 150 young tourists. In the second stage, this study uses a quantitative approach by surveying an additional 150 young tourists in Indonesia. The data from the survey were analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling with the SmartPLS software to determine the effects of servicescape and place attachment on the experience of ethnic food consumption. Findings The results show that the servicescape and physical evidence of ethnic restaurants significantly relate to postexperience behavior. Substantive and communicative servicescape affected authenticity and exoticism in choosing an ethnic restaurant. Respondents experienced place attachment as part of their postexperience behavior with different cultures. Practical implications Good food alone is not enough; business owners of ethnic restaurants need to offer comfort zones that enable social interaction and photographic spots for young tourists. Staff appearance and knowledge on the cultural story or history behind the food is also crucial to make young tourists feel attached to the restaurants and more excited to share the stories to other people. This would also offer a possible marketing strategy for ethnic restaurants in designing a competitive advantage to survive in this digital era. Originality/value There has been very little research on how young tourists as a new big market in the tourism industry evaluate their experience in ethnic restaurants. This study offers a new perspective from young tourists with different cultural backgrounds. It highlights the importance of surrounding dining areas that make young tourists feel attached to an ethnic restaurant and willing to share their post experience to their social circle.
ABSTRACT This research explores the adaptive strategies employed by Conversas (Christian women of Jewish origin) and Moriscas (Christian women of Muslim origin) in navigating adversity, particularly in their interactions with … ABSTRACT This research explores the adaptive strategies employed by Conversas (Christian women of Jewish origin) and Moriscas (Christian women of Muslim origin) in navigating adversity, particularly in their interactions with inquisitorial authorities in the early modern Crown of Aragon. This study analyses these women's efforts to uphold religious and dietary laws while confronting religious violence and preserving contested identities from a comparative perspective. Through an examination of religious practice preservation, coping mechanisms and negotiation tactics, this study unveils the resilience inherent in these communities. Additionally, this study also examines the dual process of negotiation within familial and communal contexts, as well as when confronting the Inquisition. Drawing from various historical sources, including both manuscripts and early modern editions – most notably royal decrees, municipal records, regional statutes and decisions of the Cortes , as well as inquisition trials – the research offers insights into the role of gender and female authority in shaping religious identities within premodern Mediterranean society.

This paper explores the pervasive presence of food metaphors in Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and examines their role as a fundamental mechanism of human thought rather than a mere stylistic embellishment. … This paper explores the pervasive presence of food metaphors in Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and examines their role as a fundamental mechanism of human thought rather than a mere stylistic embellishment. Food, as an essential aspect of human experience, carries both positive connotations—such as intellect, virtue, and happiness—and negative associations, including suffering, mortality, and conflict. Through an analysis of Darija data, this study investigates how food metaphors are mapped onto abstract domains such as ideas and temperament, a phenomenon observed across unrelated cultures due to the universal experiential significance of food. The findings support Lakoff’s (1993) assertion that even the most poetic or creative metaphors arise from well-established conceptual structures embedded in cultural cognition. Additionally, this paper identifies variations in the TEMPERAMENT IS FOOD metaphor, demonstrating that while this conceptual mapping exists across cultures, its specific manifestations are shaped by differences in culinary traditions, sensory perceptions, and cultural attitudes toward taste. A comparative analysis of EATING metaphors in Darija and Chinese reveals both similarities and divergences, which this study attributes to cognitive commonalities and cultural influences. While Moroccan linguistic traditions reflect the life and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), resulting in a metaphorically rich language, Chinese metaphorical expressions are shaped by the philosophical traditions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. This exploration highlights the intricate interplay between language, cognition, and culture, offering insights into how food metaphors structure human understanding across diverse societies.

Desde a domesticação da agricultura, as interações entre humanos e alimentos foram guiadas por conhecimentos, preferências pessoais, tradições geracionais e, especialmente, por condições climáticas e espaciais. Com base nesses preceitos, os humanos organizaram múltiplas receitas a partir dos ingredientes presentes em seu universo, extrapolando o sentido puramente nutricional. Por meio da análise de relatos de viagens e de fontes regionais, este trabalho aponta as formas de interação de populações nativas no Brasil do século XIX com a natureza, especialmente no âmbito dos líquidos, com ênfase nas diferentes bebidas fermentadas, objetivando compreender a representatividade desses elementos nas diversas expressões culturais desses indivíduos. Refletindo sobre essa temática, e buscando contribuir para a etnografia brasileira, será analisado, ao longo deste estudo, o modo como essas múltiplas bebidas fermentadas eram preparadas, quais ingredientes eram utilizados, quando eram consumidas, as diferenças culturais de preparo e consumo evidenciadas pelos diversos grupos indígenas no território brasileiro, bem como a inserção de outros derivados psicoativos durante as festividades.

As online culinary platforms host millions of recipes, … This paper presents a novel ingredient-based recipe recommendation system that suggests dishes using only available ingredients, eliminating reliance on user preference data. As online culinary platforms host millions of recipes, users struggle to find dishes that match their pantry constraints, dietary needs, and culinary preferences. Unlike traditional methods like TF-IDF, which lack semantic depth, or existing methods such as graph neural networks (GNNs), which incur high computational costs and struggle with cold-start scenarios, our self-supervised contrastive learning approach maps ingredients and recipes into a 64-dimensional semantic space, capturing complex culinary relationships for precise, scalable recommendations. The system enhances representation quality without user history by leveraging dual-modal Word2Vec embeddings that incorporate ingredients and cooking instructions and optimizing them using triplet loss. Using a dataset of 122,265 standardized recipes, our model achieves a 79.11% ingredient match ratio, 70% recommendation diversity (vs. 50% for baselines), and sub-100ms query times. It outperforms TF-IDF and KNN by 14% in relevance. The implementation addresses ingredient normalization, rare ingredient handling, and diverse cuisine representation, promoting sustainable cooking by maximizing ingredient use and reducing food waste. This work advances the methodology of recommendation systems by addressing the cold-start problem and ensuring privacy through user-data-free modeling. It supports practical culinary applications, contributing to sustainable cooking practices and culinary informatics.

This study examines the scope … Culinary tourism has emerged as a dynamic and culturally rich segment of the travel industry, offering travellers immersive experiences through local food and traditional gastronomy. This study examines the scope and potential of culinary tourism in the Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh, a region renowned for its distinctive culinary heritage, featuring dishes such as Dham, Siddu, and Chha Gosht. The research combines a review of existing literature with primary data collected through a tourist-based questionnaire to understand perceptions, preferences, and awareness related to regional food. Findings reveal a strong interest among tourists in experiencing authentic Kullu cuisine, with 92% of respondents expressing a desire to try traditional foods during their visits. While most tourists find Himachali food delicious and appealing, a significant gap remains in its recognition both nationally and internationally. The study also highlights challenges such as limited promotion and inconsistent availability of local cuisine. Nevertheless, the presence of culturally significant culinary practices and positive tourist feedback indicates substantial potential for culinary tourism to be integrated into sustainable tourism development strategies in the region.

Pedagogical strategies that foster generational interaction are increasingly relevant in gastronomic education. This study analyzes the impact of the Today My Grandmother Cooks contest as a teaching-learning strategy for culinary knowledge transfer in Imbabura, Ecuador. Using a qualitative approach, 47 traditional recipes were collected through live cooking session observations, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis. The participants included 28 elderly women and 16 gastronomy students. Findings indicate that culinary knowledge was passed down through traditional techniques, ancestral utensils such as clay pots and tiestos, and a distinctive local culinary lexicon. Maize emerged as the central ingredient and a symbol of Andean food identity. The most represented categories were main dishes, non-alcoholic beverages, and wrapped foods. The contest served as a situated learning model that integrated empirical knowledge from elder women with academic culinary training. It enhanced cultural identity, validated ancestral knowledge, and contributed to the safeguarding of local gastronomic heritage.

Yöresel ürünler bölgenin kimliğini tanımlamakta; bölgenin kültürünü, yeme-içme alışkanlıklarını, tarihini, coğrafi özelliklerini ve geleneklerini de kapsamaktadır. Ulusal alanda yeteri kadar tanınmayan yiyecek-içeceklerin uluslararası alanda tanınması ve ziyaretçi çekmesi mümkün değildir. Bu araştırmada, Aydın ilinde faaliyet gösteren yiyecek-içecek işletmelerinde yöresel yemeklerin kullanımı ve sürdürülebilirliğe katkıları ile ilgili durum tespiti yapmak amaçlanmaktadır. Veriler, nitel veri toplama yöntemlerinden; literatür taraması ve görüşme yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın ana kütlesini, Aydın ilinde faaliyet gösteren; “Turizm İşletme Belgesi” ve “Basit Konaklama Belgesi” ne sahip restoranlar oluşturmaktadır. Elde edilen verilere göre, 10 restorandan 9’unda yöresel yemeklerden bazıları sunulurken, 1 restoranda yöresel yemek sunulmamaktadır. Ayrıca, kısmen de olsa tüm restoranlar sürdürülebilirliğe katkı sağlamaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda turizme katkıda bulunmak, yerel gıda ile sürdürülebilir kalkınmayı sağlamak, kültürel, doğal ve tarihi mirası sürdürmek amacıyla; topluma, kamuya ve sektöre önerilerde bulunulmaktadır.

Bu noktada Türk mutfağı özgün coğrafi işaretli yiyecekler ve içecekler açısından dünya mutfakları arasında ayırt edici bir yere sahiptir. Bu zenginliği dikkate alarak, yöresellik, inovasyon ve sürdürülebilirlik açısından gastronomik mükemmeliği arayan restoranların başında ise Michelin Rehberi’ne girmeyi başarmış restoranlar gelmektedir. Bu araştırma ile Michelin Rehberi’nde bulunan Türkiye’deki restoranların sosyal medyada paylaştıkları coğrafi işaretli yemeklerin gastronomik mesajlarının keşfedilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Michelin Rehberi’nde yer alan 5 restoranın Instagram hesabından 9 adet yemek fotoğrafı seçilerek Barthes’in göstergebilimsel (semiyotik) kuramı yardımıyla yorumlanmıştır. Gerçekleştirilen analizler sonucunda kimi coğrafi işaretli yemeklerde yöreselliğin tüm unsurlarıyla korunduğu görülürken, kimilerinde ise coğrafi işaretli gıda ürünü ile sınırlı kaldığı anlaşılmaktadır. Pişirme ve sunum anlamındaki modernizasyon da dikkat çekmektedir. Modernize edilen coğrafi işaretli yemekler incelendiğinde, Türk misafirlerden ziyade yabancı ziyaretçilerin damak tadı, tabak sunumu ve yemek-içki eşleştirmesi beklentilerinin dikkate alındığı dikkat çekici şekilde göze çarpmaktadır.

Gıda alerjisi olan bireylerin ihtiyaçlarına uygun çözümler geliştirmek, gastronominin toplumsal bir sorumluluk alanı olarak da önem taşımaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, gıda alerjisi ve gıda intoleransı gibi sağlığı olumsuz etkileyen beslenme kısıtlılıklarının gastronomi boyutlarıyla incelenerek alan yazına ve tüketicilere bilimsel katkı sağlamaktır. Gıda alerjisi ve gıda intoleransı son günlerde oldukça fazla insanın hayatını etkileyen önemli yaşamsal sorunlardan biri haline gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda gıda alerjisi ve gıda intoleransına karşı hassasiyete neden olan gıda ürünlerinin tamamen beslenme modelinden çıkarılmasının gerekliliği ortaya konmuştur. Bu durum yaşamsal anlamda bazı beslenme kısıtlılığı doğuracağından dolayı hassasiyet veren gıda ürünlerine karşı alternatif gıda ürünleri önerilmiştir. Bu gıdalar ile yalnızca alerjik reaksiyonların önlenmesi için değil aynı zamanda beslenme eksikliklerini gidermek ve yaşam kalitesini artırmak için önerilmektedir. Sonuç olarak yapılan çalışma ile beslenme yaklaşımlarının bireyselleştirilmesi yani kişiye özgü olması gerekli olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Ayrıca sürdürülebilir perspektif açısıyla ve multidisipliner çalışmalarla gıda alerjisi ve intoleransına yönelik daha fazla çalışmaların yer almasına dikkat çekilmiştir.

It explores how travel settings affect political food consumerism by disrupting familiar routines, introducing new cultural and logistical constraints and leading individuals to adjust their food choices in ways that reflect ongoing ethical engagement. Design/methodology/approach Adopting a constructivist ontology and interpretivist epistemology, the study uses a qualitative design based on semi-structured interviews with politically and ethically conscious consumers. The analysis, informed by the grounded theory, identifies key themes related to motivations, emotional dimensions and barriers in travel-related political and ethical food consumption. Findings Tourism disrupts the routines that political food consumerism usually relies on. In everyday life, ethical food choices are supported by habit, familiar products and like-minded social settings. But when people travel, they face new cultures and lose control over what food is available. From a lifestyle politics perspective, ethical choices are not fixed – they shift as situations change. In tourism, political food decisions often involve compromise, shaped by practical limits, cultural differences and being more visible. Tourism, therefore, functions as a space for ethical expression and as a context in which political food commitments are tested and redefined. Practical implications Understanding how ethical food commitments shift during travel can help providers better support value-driven consumption. This includes improving access to verified ethical food options, clearer sourcing information and recognising the cultural and emotional significance of food choices for ethically motivated travellers. By addressing the challenges faced in unfamiliar settings, industry actors can create more inclusive environments that align with expectations around ethical and sustainable consumption. Originality/value A lifestyle politics perspective is applied to political food consumerism in tourism, highlighting food as a highly moralised and contested area of consumption. It offers new insight into how ethical eating practices are shaped through travel and how these practices may contribute to sustainability transitions within tourism and hospitality.

However, different opinions emerged about the diversity of Alanya cuisine and its forgotten dishes. The participants' suggestions for preserving Alanya's culinary culture were also evaluated within the study's scope. The participants emphasized that to ensure this heritage's sustainability, it is important to increase media promotion, support relevant individuals, organize training programs, and establish research institutions.
