Martin Cohen is een gevestigde auteur die gespecialiseerd is in populaire werken op het gebied van filosofie, sociale wetenschappen en politiek. Zijn schrijven duikt in complexe maatschappelijke vraagstukken, waaronder de sociologie van voedsel, waarbij hij zowel historische als hedendaagse filosofische perspectieven op dit fundamentele aspect van het menselijk leven verkent.

Hij biedt lezers een genuanceerd begrip van de politiek en wetenschap van voedsel, waarbij hij vaak benadrukt hoe maatschappelijke factoren, zoals armoede, onze eetgewoonten en gezondheid beïnvloeden.
