The University of Toronto Press publishes 'Culinary Claims'

Dr. L. Sasha Gora, the director of the "Off the Menu: Appetites, Culture and Environment" research group, has published her first monograph, ' Culinary Claims: Indigenous Restaurant Politics in Canada', as part of the Culinaria series at the University of Toronto Press. It explores the complex relationships between wild plants and introduced animals, between Indigenous foodways and Canadian regulations.?
Blending food studies with environmental history, it examines how cuisines reflect social and political issues related to cultural representation and sovereignty. The book chronicles the rise of Indigenous restaurants and their influence on Canadian food culture, engaging with questions about how shifts in appetite reflect broader shifts in imaginations of local environments and identities. Ultimately, it asks, What insights can historians gain from restaurants—and their legacies—as reflections of Indigenous and settler negotiations over cultural claims to land?
