The publisher's info on the book is here
http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/food-and-identity-in-england-1540-1640-9781472510655/

There is a volume on Food and Identity in the Caribbean, so maybe the review is misplaced.

It plays well on the dynamics between wisely chosen general notions and the particular examples depicted so colourfully. The writing style makes it widely accessible not only to scholars within the field of anthropology and social sciences, but also to a wider range of possible readers outside academia, driven by a keen interest be it even only in the Caribbean, or in food.
