### Cuisenier, Jean
Jean Cuisenier (1927-2017) was a French anthropologist and ethnologist. He is best known for his work on food and culture.
Cuisenier was born in Paris in 1927. He studied at the Sorbonne and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales. He began his career as a journalist, but soon turned to anthropology. He conducted fieldwork in the Ivory Coast, France, and Switzerland.
Cuisenier's work on food and culture has been highly influential. He argued that food is not simply a source of sustenance, but also a way of expressing cultural values and social relationships. He also developed the concept of the "food triangle," which describes the relationship between food, culture, and society.
Cuisenier's work has been translated into many languages and has been used in a variety of fields, including anthropology, sociology, and nutrition. He is considered one of the founders of the field of food anthropology.
