[-empyre-] Food and Cultural Identity

[Nicole J. Caruth]

Speaking of publications, Amanda asked me to share a link to my writings on
art and food. You'll find a selection here:
http://www.nicolecaruth.com/publications.

It's been wonderful to learn about everyone's projects and perspectives!

Onward,
Nicole
