Joanne Hollows is an independent scholar and researcher based in the UK. She has over 20 years of experience teaching media and cultural studies, most recently as a Reader in Media and Cultural Studies at Nottingham Trent University, UK.Joanne Hollows demonstrates that celebrity chefs are more than just the branded byproducts of neoliberal capitalism; rather, their prominence and impact speaks to more complex shifts in the relations between civic, digital media and public culture. An overdue account of the contemporary role of celebrity chefs as cultural and political intermediaries, this book is a major contribution to media studies, cultural studies, sociology, food studies and beyond.
