More than just great food writing, this long-overdue rebuttal to
the notion that all women are on a diet celebrates food with grace,
wit, and gusto. Women are reclaiming their pots and pans, but it's
a new era in the kitchen. Today's generation of women is putting a
fresh spin on the "joy of cooking",and eating and
entertaining.Women both in and out of the culinary profession share
their stories about the many ways food shapes and enhances their
lives. New York Times columnist Amanda Hesser praises the joys of
simple food. Kate Sekules discusses the importance of having a
restaurant where you are known. Michelle Tea describes her
working-class Polish family's meals as "tripe, kielbasa, shellfish
and beer." One woman owns up to her culinary ineptitude in an era
when being a gourmet cook is all the rage another links her love
for Carvel soft-serve ice cream to her childhood in Trinidad. One
woman writes about baking school, another about making sauerkraut
with her grandmother, and another about the food in her favourite
books of her childhood. This illuminating look at food today, with
generous helpings of great prose, is that all too rare thing: a
food positive book by women.
