Between 2000 and 2010, many contemporary US-American women writers
were returning to the private space of the kitchen, writing about
their experiences in that space and then publishing their memoirs
for the larger public to consume. Season to Taste: Rewriting
Kitchen Space in Contemporary Women's Food Memoirs explores women's
food memoirs with recipes in order to consider the ways in which
these women are rewriting this kitchen space and renegotiating
their relationships with food. Caroline J. Smith begins the book
with a historical overview of how the space of the kitchen, and the
expectations of women associated with it, have shifted considerably
since the 1960s. Better Homes and Gardens, as well as the discourse
of the second-wave feminist movement, tended to depict the space as
a place of imprisonment. The contemporary popular writers examined
in Season to Taste, such as Ruth Reichl, Kim Sunee, Jocelyn Delk
Adams, Julie Powell, and Molly Wizenberg, respond to this
characterization by instead presenting the kitchen as a place of
transformation. In their memoirs and recipes, these authors
reinterpret their roles within the private sphere of the home as
well as the public sphere of the world of publishing (whether print
or digital publication). The authors examined here explode the
divide of private/feminine and public/masculine in both content and
form and complicate the genres of recipe writing, diary writing,
and memoir. These women writers, through the act of preparing and
consuming food, encourage readers to reconsider the changing gender
politics of the kitchen.
