Each life lived leaves an impression. A mark on the people and places it encounters. Old houses are full of such impressions. Old houses are full of secrets. Dani is good at finding them. She's also good at misreading texts and accidentally injuring herself, but that's beside the point. As she embarks on an investigation into the secrets of her home, Dani stumbles (literally and figuratively), but she doesn't give up. Will the whirl of shifting relationships, family pressures, and a new houseguest finally knock Dani down or land her squarely on her own two feet?

How does food restore the fragmented world of migrants and the displaced? What similar processes are involved in challenging, maintaining or reinforcing divisions between groups coexisting in the same living place? This book examines how 'home' is negotiated around food in the current worldwide context of uncertainty, mobility and displacement.

For best friends Jake and Nate the question isn't how they ended up in bed together but how they stay there. Aggressive, physical, and brave, Jake Owens is a small town football hero turned big city cop who passes his time with meaningless encounters believing he can't have who he really wants: Nate Richardson, his best friend since before forever. Thoughtful, quiet, and kind, Nate is a brilliant doctor who has always known who he is and has never been able to shake his crush on loyal, courageous, straight Jake. After a passionate night together, Nate realizes Jake isn't as straight as he assumed, but he worries that what they shared was a fluke, a result of too much closeness for too long. For Jake, the question isn't how they ended up in bed together because he has always known that Nate holds his heart, it's how he'll convince Nate that he wants and needs to stay there.

Long-held assumptions about women, home, food, and cooking have broken down. In an increasing number of households, women are either absent from or share domestic work more equally with men. At the same time, the visibility of men''s cooking has increased through TV shows, books, blogs, and websites devoted to food and cooking. Terms like ''gastrosexual'' have emerged to describe the growing male market for kitchenware and the growing prestige of public masculine foodwork.Whilst scholars have begun to examine how men''s increasing engagement with homemaking practices shapes masculine identities and transforms meanings of ''home'', Food, Masculinities and Home is the first book to focus specifically on food. An international, multidisciplinary range of contributors explores questions such as:- How do food practices shape and are shaped by masculinities and the home? - To what extent are existing gender hierarchies being challenges? To what extent is masculine privilege being reiterated? - To what extent are masculinities being reshaped by the increasing presence of men in kitchens and food-focused spaces? With ever-growing interest in both food and gender studies, this is a must-read for students and researchers in food studies, gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, geography, anthropology, and related fields.
