Is food porn a vibrant and democratic new expression of modern food culture or a superficial addition to an image-saturated world? Tracing its origins from the 1970s to today, this timely book examines the evolution of food porn as a desire-inducing aesthetic practice and a visually extravagant food spectacle.

Through discussions on class, gender, sexuality and national identities, it questions whether food porn reinforces social hierarchies or empowers individuals. Also exploring anti-food porn aesthetics, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the deeper social implications of food's digital allure.

Reviews for Food Porn: Food Aesthetics in a Digital Age

'Read in one sitting, I was both entertained and schooled in the dynamism of food porn. A deft exploration of how food images organize desire, gender, and power, while leaving space for humour, irony, and resistance.' Josée Johnston, University of Toronto 'In this highly entertaining book, Leer and Krogager have dished up a deliciously provocative exploration of food porn that will change how you look at your plate, and your social media feed!' Tania Lewis, RMIT University
