À propos de cet audio
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 listeners look at what’s on their plate—and the women whose labor, overlooked for so long, makes those meals possible.

"Taste Makers introduced me to the life stories of extraordinary women and offered me an invigorating history of cooking - as life's purpose, as pleasure, as political act - in America. Mayukh Sen writes with great heart and a spirit of vibrant inquiry to give us a magnificent book." (Megha Majumdar, author of A Burning)
"Reading Taste Makers is a lot like enjoying an amazing meal: It surprises you, fills you, and you're sorry when it's over. Mayukh Sen has crafted something truly special, a book where women's stories take center stage." (Jessica Valenti, author of Sex Object: A Memoir)
"Mayukh Sen isn't the first to write about women who made significant cultural contributions while being undervalued during their lifetimes, and even more so in death. But he does it in such a way as to make you think he might be the first. He is acutely aware of the cliches that have come to inhibit the genre, and he both challenges and upends them." (Charlotte Druckman, editor of Women on Food)

Needs a narrator who can pronounce the word !
The narrator clearly did no research into how to pronounce non-english words. Most jarring in the Julie Saini biography - would expect better for a South Asian author writing about a South Asian legend
