Word about the next book giveaway for our CulinaryWoman Community members was in this week’s newsletter. But, here’s a reminder if you missed it.
I have one advance copy of Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food In Americaby Mayukh Sen to share with you.
Spanning cuisine from World War II to the present, Taste Makers recounts the lives of China’s Chao Yang Buwei, Mexico’s Elena Zelayeta, France’s Madeleine Kamman, Itly’s Marcella Hazan, India’s Julie Sahni, Iran’s Najmieh Batmanglij and Jamaica’s Norma Shirley.
All these women embraced food as a way to connect with themselves and their readers. The book examines their stories in parallel with Julia Child, who used French food as a springboard to becoming a household name.
Any one of the women in Mayukh’s book is worthy of cinematic treatment, and the writing bursts with colorful settings and stories. Taste Makers goes on sale later this month, but you can get a copy soon - if you join the CulinaryWoman Community.
Paid subscribers and founding members of CulinaryWoman are automatically entered in a drawing for the book, and also will receive some fun CW souvenirs. Please consider upgrading your subscription, and you will be entered, too
I’d love to have our winner share their thoughts about Taste Makers in a future issue of the newsletter, because the point of view is so different than what we usually read in food-related books.
Meanwhile, I’m excited about more giveaways that we will have heading into the holidays, including one from a recognizable beverage brand. Plus, additional books.
Here’s our recent winner, Janet Livingston, who received a cookbook and CulinaryWoman swag (not pictured).
Looking forward to finding out who wins Taste Makers. I hope it is you! Please upgrade or subscribe by this Saturday, Nov. 6.
