Women in the Kitchen: Twelve Essential cookbook Writers Who Defined the Way We Eat, From 1661 to Today by Anne Willan delivers exactly what it promises. A key point to note is that this is not a book about female chefs in general; it is specifically about women who wrote cookbooks. The recipes themselves provide a window to the time and place represented by the author. This book is a unique tour through time and history. Read my complete review at http://www.memoriesfrombooks.com/2020/03/women-in-kitchen.html Reviewed for NetGalley. Although I am not a good cook I like cookbooks. Especially books like this one that not only has good recipes but a good story to tell also. This book has 12 short but interesting and to the point biographies on 12 different cookbook writers through 400 years with a small number of their recipes. How she chose these 12 I don't know but I had actually heard of 6 of them so I was pleased with myself. Hannah Wooley (1622-1675) was the first English cookbook writer to be published. With no ingredients list and no real directions, only a professional cook could make sense of it but it was interesting. Amelia Simmons (no dates) was the first American cookbook author. Again, a book short on details but interesting life. Several more authors until we get to Fannie Farmer (1857-1915) cookbook author and also owned a cooking school. From Fannie Farmer on I actually own the cookbooks represented in this book. Irma Rombauer (1877-1962) Joy of Cooking, who doesn't own this? Julia Child (1912-2004) Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I wish I could just master cooking but I loved "Julie and Julia." Edna Lewis (1916-2006) The Taste of Country Cooking. The title alone brings back my grandmother's chicken and dumplings and my mother in law's fried chicken and how cake. Sigh..... Marcella Hazen (1924-2013) The Classic Italian Cookbook. She wasn't making any pizza chain pizza or spaghetti. Last but not least Alice Waters (1944-) who owns Chez Panisse in San Francisco and wrote Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook. Alice has trained many celebrity chefs in her restaurant including my favorite cookbook writer and blogger David Lebovitz. She has also tried to teach America organic, farm to table, and what a locavore is. The author of this book has been writing about cooking for over 50 years and wrote for Gourmet Magazine. She also has a cookbook collection of over 2000 volumes. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for a review. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Anne Willan, multi-award-winning culinary historian, cookbook writer, cooking teacher, and founder of La Varenne Cooking School in Paris, explores the lives and work of women cookbook authors whose important books have defined cooking over the past three hundred years. Beginning with the first published cookbook by Hannah Woolley in 1661, up to Alice Waters today, these women, and books, created the canon of the American table. Focusing on the figures behind the recipes, Women in the Kitchen traces the development of American home cooking from the first, early colonial days to transformative cookbooks by Fannie Farmer, Irma Rombauer, Julia Child, Edna Lewis, and Marcella Hazan. Willan offers a short biography of each influential woman, including her background, and a description of the seminal books she authored. These women inspired one another, and in part owe their places in cooking history to those who came before them. Featuring fifty original recipes, as well as updated versions Willan has tested and modernized for the contemporary kitchen, this engaging narrative seamlessly moves through history to help readers understand how female cookbook authors have shaped American cooking today" --Amazon.
