Review Claudia Roden's the Food of Italy: Region by Region / Steerforth Italia:CONTAINING MORE THAN three hundred recipes, Claudia Roden’s timeless and enchanting book is set against a backdrop of the story of Italy and its people and is the most authoritative and approachable guide to one of the world’s best-loved cuisines by one of the great food writers of our time. For an entire year Roden traveled up and down Italy, through every region, taking in city and countryside, to discover the local specialties on their home ground. She visited the kitchens of both professional and private cooks, watching them at work and listening to their stories. From simple and rustic to grand bravura, the recipes collected here represent traditional regional dishes as they are cooked today in Italy, and as they can now be cooked with ease and delight in our own kitchens. The Sunday Telegraph has called The Food of Italy, “Excellent. a collection of delicious recipes chosen on the basis of strong flavors and ease of preparation. ” “A glorious feast of a book, a splendid history, geography and cooking lesson rolled into one,” says the Financial Times. “Claudia Roden is no more a simple cookbook writer than Marcel Proust was a biscuit baker. [+]She is, rather, a memorialist, historian, ethnographer, anthropologist, essayist, poet. ”- Simon Schama“Claudia Roden’s The Food of Italy is one of the most used and loved books on our bookshelf. Her knowledge and understanding of the regions and their food and culture makes this one of the most authentic of all Italian cookbooks. ”- Ruth Rogers And Rose Gray, The River Café.

Review From Betty Crocker to Feminist Food Studies: Critical Perspectives on Women And Food / University of Massachusetts Press:Here, feminist scholars shed new light on the history of food, cooking, and eating. In recent years, scholars from a variety of disciplines have turned their attention to food to gain a better understanding of history, culture, economics, and society. The emerging field of food studies has yielded a great deal of useful research and a host of publications. "Missing", however, has been a focused effort to use gender as an analytic tool. This stimulating collection of original essays addresses that oversight, investigating the important connections between food studies and women's studies. Applying the insights of feminist scholarship to the study of food, the thirteen essays in this volume are arranged under four headings - the marketplace, histories, representations, and resistances. The editors open the book with a substantial introduction that traces the history of scholarly writing on food and maps the terrain of feminist food studies. In the essays that follow, contributors pay particular attention to the ways in which gender, race, ethnicity, class, colonialism, and capitalism have both shaped and been shaped by the production and consumption of food. In the first section, four essays analyze the influence of large corporations in determining what came to be accepted as proper meals in the United States, including what mothers were expected to feed their babies. The essays in the second section explore how women have held families together by keeping them nourished, from the routines of an early nineteenth-century New Englander to the plight of women who endured the siege of Leningrad. [+]The essays in the third section focus on the centrality of gender and race in the formation of identities as enacted through food discourse and practices. These case studies range from the Caribbean to the San Luis Valley of Colorado. The final section documents acts of female resistance within the contexts of national or ethnic oppression. From women in colonial India to Armenian American feminists, these essays show how food has served as a means to assert independence and personal identity.

Review Crafting the Culture and History of French Chocolate / University of California Press:This absorbing narrative follows the craft community of French chocolatiers-members of a tiny group experiencing intensive international competition-as they struggle to ensure the survival of their businesses. Susan J. Terrio moves easily among ethnography, history, theory, and vignette, telling a story that challenges conventional views of craft work, associational forms, and training models in late capitalism. She enters the world of Parisian craft leaders and local artisanal families there and in southwest France to relate how they work and how they confront the representatives and structures of power, from taste makers, CEOs, and advertising executives to the technocrats of Paris and Brussels. Looking at craft culture and community from a cross-disciplinary perspective, Terrio finds that the chocolatiers affirm their collective identity and their place in the present by commemorating selectively their role in history. In addition to joining a distinguished tradition of American anthropological writing on the role of food, her study of the social production of taste in the invention of vintage, grand cru chocolates lends specificity and weight to theories of consumption by Pierre Bourdieu and others. The book will appeal to anthropologists, cultural studies scholars, and anyone curious about life in contemporary France.

Review How to Cook Chinese Favorites: An Illustrated Step-By-Step Guide to Foolproof Soups, Dumplings, Steamed Fish, Classic Stir-Fries, Rice Dishes, & Noodles (How to Cook Master Ser) / Boston Common Pr:How to Cook Chinese Favorites is a small joy. In fewer than 100 pages it presents illustrated, step-by-step instructions for preparing Chinese soups, dumplings, steamed fish, classic stir-fries, rice dishes, noodles, and more, along with basic recipes, tips, and information that all cooks can use. Conceding the difficulty most of us have cooking Chinese, the book sets a practical aim-to make a few favorite dishes, such as egg drop soup and Kung Pao chicken, workable for home cooks. Following a chapter on equipment, ingredients, and technique basics (a skillet is preferable to a wok for use on most American stoves, the authors say), the book then provides easy, accessible recipes that include beef and broccoli in garlic sauce, fried rice, and pork lo mein, as well as formulas for the aforementioned dishes. Throughout, underlying techniques are explored and illustrated (drawings of dumpling folding techniques are particularly good), and sensible tips abound (for example, rice for stir-frying is best dried on a baking sheet). A true primer, the book is part of the Cook's Illustrated Library series. Like the magazine, the books are dedicated to presenting tried-and-perfected recipes and cooking techniques in a concise, approachable way. -Arthur Boehm.
