Who's really behind America's appetite for foods from around the
globe? This group biography from an electric new voice in food
writing honours seven extraordinary women, all immigrants, who left
an indelible mark on the way Americans eat today. Taste Makers
stretches from the Second World War to the present, with absorbing
and deeply researched portraits of figures including Mexican-born
Elena Zelayeta, a blind chef; Marcella Hazan, the deity of Italian
cuisine and Norma Shirley, a champion of Jamaican dishes. In
imaginative, lively prose, Mayukh Sen-a queer, brown child of
immigrants-reconstructs the lives of these women in vivid and
empathetic detail, daring to ask why some were famous in their own
time but not in ours and why others shine brightly even today.
Weaving together histories of food, immigration and gender, Taste
Makers challenges the way readers look at what's on their plate-and
the women whose labour, overlooked for so long, makes those meals
possible.
