Claudia Roden (1936, Cairo, Egypt; currently based in the UK) is both the originator and the leading exponent of research into the culinary cultures of the Middle East and North Africa. She practices a form of culinary anthropology and history in which there is room both for the scientific approach and for the personal experience of chefs, consumers and herself. She makes a place for the culture of eating within the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean region from which she comes.
