Interesting because of the obstacles that they had to overcome, and how the field/genre developed over time. ( ) Food journalist Mayukh Sen attempts to raise the profile of seven immigrant women (below) who contributed to the food landscape in the United States through their restaurants, cookbooks, TV shows, and newspaper interviews. They received different levels of praise and attention (and none quite as much as Julia Child, who had the privilege of being a white American), but each moved the needle, bringing a "foreign" food closer to mainstream acceptance from the food industry, food media, and white American consumers. Chao Yang Buwei (Chinese) Elena Zelayeta (Mexican) Madeleine Kamman (French) Marcella Hazan (Italian) Julie Sahni (Indian) Najmieh Batmanglij (Iranian/Persian) Norma Shirley (Jamaican) Quotes/notes "When you try to teach a cuisine that is not your own, there is always one dimension missing." (Madeleine Kamman, 77) "America has a tendency toward stardom....I never wanted to be a star, and I resisted it very strongly by saying what I thought all the time. I'm not a very popular person. But you know what? So what!" (Madeleine Kamman, 82) "Long, long ago I learned it was not only important to excel, but also to be content." (Marcella Hazan, 120) "In exile, you become so much more conscious of your culture, and ours is so beautiful." (Najmieh Batmanglij, 123) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"America's modern culinary history told through the lives of seven pathbreaking chefs and food writers. Who's really behind America's appetite for foods from around the globe? This group biography from an electric new voice in food writing honors seven extraordinary women, all immigrants, who left an indelible mark on the way Americans eat today. Taste Makers stretches from World War II 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 will challenge the way readers look at what's on their plate-and the women whose labor, overlooked for so long, makes those meals possible"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
