Reviews

"What I loved about this book is that Martin Cohen provides much food for though via studying the thoughts and opinions of many great philosophers. He doesn't state what is the right path to follow. Rather, he provides a vast wealth of info that leads the reader to make up their own minds and create a habit of seeking out the answers for ourselves. I genuinely can't view food the same way and I consider myself better off for it." - Charlene Martel - The Literary Word


"I Think Therefore I Eat is a journey towards self-discovery, an objective and witty analysis of historic and current food trends. In a fun and easy way to read, he helps you to understand that at the end, the only one you should listen to, is your very own body. Because it all depends, and detail matters!" - Tania Biral, Web content editor & digital strategist


"From Nietzsche on broth to the Marxist theory of snacks, Martin Cohen lays on a veritable banquet of thoughtful dishes for all tastes." -- Professor Constantine Sandis, author of The Things We Do and Why We Do Them


"Cohen's suggestions are delicious and furiously contemporary, as the Inspectors of the Michelin Guide also once put it, writing about my own restaurant." - Jeremy Laze, Chef at La Villa Eugène, Caen


"Witty and readable I Think Therefore I Eat

will shock food experts of all kinds but the rest of us will think carefully before we eat. We'll improve our life styles and extend our life expectancy as a result." - Colin Kirk author of LIFE IN POETRY

"Martin Cohen has woven an immensely informative and entertaining narrative about the intersection between deep thinkers of philosophy and our contemporary specialists of food and nutrition. Cohen, in his strikingly original approach, does an impressive job of teasing out fact from myth -- all in an eminently approachable, easy-to-read style. A book for everyone who eats." - Keith Tidman, science and philosophy blogger at Philosophical Investigations
