Aesthetic Pleasure in Twentieth-Century Women's Food Writing
explores the aesthetic pleasures of eating and writing in the lives
of M. F. K. Fisher (1908-1992), Alice B. Toklas (1877-1967), and
Elizabeth David (1913-1992). Growing up during a time when women's
food writing was largely limited to the domestic cookbook, which
helped to codify the guidelines of middle class domesticity,
Fisher, Toklas, and David claimed the pleasures of gastronomy
previously reserved for men. Articulating a language through which
female desire is artfully and publicly sated, Fisher, Toklas, and
David expanded women's food writing beyond the domestic realm by
pioneering forms of self-expression that celebrate female appetite
for pleasure and for culinary adventure. In so doing, they
illuminate the power of genre-bending food writing to transgress
and reconfigure conventional gender ideologies. For these women,
food encouraged a sensory engagement with their environment and a
physical receptivity toward pleasure that engendered their creative
aesthetic.
