Psyche A. Williams-Forson is one of our leading thinkers about food
in America. In Eating While Black, she offers her knowledge and
experience to illuminate how anti-Black racism operates in the
practice and culture of eating. She shows how mass media, nutrition
science, economics, and public policy drive entrenched opinions
among both Black and non-Black Americans about what is healthful
and right to eat. Distorted views of how and what Black people eat
are pervasive, bolstering the belief that they must be corrected
and regulated. What is at stake is nothing less than whether
Americans can learn to embrace nonracist understandings and
practices in relation to food. Sustainable culture-what keeps a
community alive and thriving-is essential to Black peoples' fight
for access and equity, and food is central to this fight. Starkly
exposing the rampant shaming and policing around how Black people
eat, Williams-Forson contemplates food's role in cultural
transmission, belonging, homemaking, and survival. Black people's
relationships to food have historically been connected to extreme
forms of control and scarcity-as well as to stunning creativity and
ingenuity. In advancing dialogue about eating and race, this book
urges us to think and talk about food in new ways in order to
improve American society on both personal and structural levels.

Bissonnette was 16 he landed his first kitchen gig, at a bakery in
Searsport, Maine. He went on to study baking and pastry at the
Culinary Institute of America, graduating in 2000. He was hired as
the pastry chef at the estimable White Barn Inn in Kennebunk,
Maine, jumped to the renowned Inn at Little Washington in rural
Virginia, and then joined the kitchen at the elegant English
countryside hotel, The Summer Lodge Country House Hotel and Spa. In
2009, he returned to Maine and the White Barn, where he was
promoted to executive chef in 2015. After Bissonnette took over the
White Barn kitchen, he started toting a camera to work to create a
visual record of dishes he and his staff came up with. Photography
clicked with him, and in 2017, he gave up his apron to pursue
photography full time. He is the author of Soup: The Ultimate
Cookbook and Dumplings. Find out more at dbfoodphoto.com.
In Intimate Eating Anita Mannur examines how notions of the
culinary can create new forms of kinship, intimacy, and social and
political belonging. Drawing on critical ethnic studies and queer
studies, Mannur traces the ways in which people of color, queer
people, and other marginalized subjects create and sustain this
belonging through the formation of "intimate eating publics." These
spaces-whether established in online communities or through eating
along in a restaurant-blur the line between public and private. In
analyses of Julie Powell's Julie and Julia, Nani Power's Ginger and
Ganesh, Ritesh Batra's film The Lunchbox, Michael Rakowitz's
performance art installation Enemy Kitchen, and The Great British
Bake Off, Mannur focuses on how racialized South Asian and Arab
brown bodies become visible in various intimate eating publics. In
this way, the culinary becomes central to discourses of race and
other social categories of difference. By illuminating how cooking,
eating, and distributing food shapes and sustains social worlds,
Mannur reconfigures how we think about networks of intimacy beyond
the family, heteronormativity, and nation.

Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant
Prune, she spent twenty hard-living years trying to find purpose
and meaning in her life. "Blood, Bones & Butter" follows an
unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has
inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood,
where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily
wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey,
where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the
essence of hospitality; Hamilton's own kitchen at Prune, with its
many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian
mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton's idyllic
past and her own future family--the result of a prickly marriage
that nonetheless yields lasting dividends. By turns epic and
intimate, Gabrielle Hamilton's story is told with uncommon honesty,
grit, humor, and passion.

In The Edible South, Marcie Cohen Ferris presents food as a new way
to chronicle the American South's larger history. Ferris tells a
richly illustrated story of southern food and the struggles of
whites, blacks, Native Americans, and other people of the region to
control the nourishment of their bodies and minds, livelihoods,
lands, and citizenship. The experience of food serves as an
evocative lens onto colonial settlements and antebellum
plantations, New South cities and Civil Rights-era lunch counters,
chronic hunger and agricultural reform, counterculture communes and
iconic restaurants as Ferris reveals how food - as cuisine and as
commodity - has expressed and shaped southern identity to the
present day. The region in which European settlers were greeted
with unimaginable natural abundance was simultaneously the place
where enslaved Africans vigilantly preserved cultural memory in
cuisine and Native Americans held tight to kinship and food
traditions despite mass expulsions. Southern food, Ferris argues,
is intimately connected to the politics of power. The contradiction
between the realities of fulsomeness and deprivation, privilege and
poverty, in southern history resonates in the region's food
traditions, both beloved and maligned.

recipes that can help you reach your weight loss goals, too!
Brittany Williams had struggled with her weight all her life. She
grew up eating the standard American staples--fast, frozen, fried,
and processed--and hit a peak weight of 260 pounds. When her
4-year-old daughter's autoimmune disease was alleviated by a
low-sugar, dairy-free, grain-free, whole-food-based diet, Brittany

January 1, 2017, she vowed to make every meal for a year from
scratch, aided by her Instant Pot(R). She discovered that the
versatility, speed, and ease of the electric pressure cooker made
creating wholesome, tasty, family-satisfying meals a breeze,

pounds, all documented on her Instant Loss blog. Illustrated with

As a gay man living in a big city and working as a nutritionist,
Daniel O'Shaughnessy knows that the LGBTQ+ community has specific
dietary and health needs. Clients seek his expertise on matters you
might expect: weight loss and muscle gain, addiction, fertility and
digestive health issues. But they also come to him with more
specific questions - about nutrition for balancing hormones while
transitioning; how to manage a chronic condition like HIV; how to
mitigate the party lifestyle - as well as being able to openly
discuss concerns related to their health and routine without fear
of judgement or misunderstanding. What surprised Daniel was that,
despite the demand in his private practice, there seemed to be
little dependable information out there. Not everyone can afford a
personal nutritionist! What was missing was a reliable,
non-judgemental, knowledgeable resource that considered the
nutrition and lifestyle needs of the LGBTQ+ community, one that
took an honest and progressive approach. Naked Nutrition offers
practical, relevant advice on everything from a proactive approach
to sexual health to pragmatic and safe use of supplements, together
with the professional expertise that has been enriched by Daniel's
own lived experience.
*As featured in a BBC documentary* Coco is Anna Del Conte's
12-year-old granddaughter and her tireless helper in the kitchen.
From a very early age, Coco showed an interest in food and cooking
- Anna taught her to smell and taste food, and soon enough Coco was
able to start helping, progressing from decorating cakes to making
pasta to conjuring up her favourite tagines. Taking us from the
simple dishes of the early stages, through to more complex cooking
for older children - by way of meatballs, Coco's first biscuits,
lamb with couscous and sweet ricotta pancakes - and illustrated
with beautiful photographs, Anna Del Conte brings us the best of
all the recipes they have cooked together. In a relaxed, informal
style, she shows how to teach children the importance of seasonal
food, how to introduce new skills and techniques, and how to choose
the best ingredients. But Cooking with Coco is also an
inspirational reminder of how much fun families can have together
in the kitchen. Written by an internationally renowned cook, food
writer and grandmother, for all the eager - and sometimes
mischievous - faces around her table, Cooking with Coco is a book
for anyone who wants to introduce children to simple, healthy and
delicious cooking and the joy and satisfaction of making it
themselves.
