A provocative collection of food’s most distinctive female voices and subjects

Women on Food unites the radical, diverging female voices of the food industry in this urgent collection of essays, interviews, questionnaires, illustrations, quotes, and ephemera. Edited by Charlotte Druckman and written by esteemed food journalists and thinkers, including Soleil Ho, Nigella Lawson, Diana Henry, Carla Hall, Helen Rosner, Rachael Ray, and many others, this compilation illuminates the notable and varied women who make up the food world. Exploring everyday issues from the #MeToo movement, the gender pay gap, and the underrepresentation of women of color in leadership, to cultural trends including reality shows, the intersection of fashion and food, and the evolution of food writing in the last few decades, Women on Food brings together food’s most vital female voices.

Product description

Review

Druckman presents an entertaining and thought-provoking "variety show" of previously unpublished essays, interviews, and ephemera from women working in the world of food...This celebration of women's influence in the industry and primer on the discrimination they still face will satisfy foodies and feminists alike.-- "Publishers Weekly"

"a thought-provoking and sometimes anger-inducing tome that should be required reading for anyone working in the restaurant business, or anyone interested in the gender politics of food."--The Times

"A potent reminder of just how much women shape and are shaped by the culture of food."--The New York Times

"It's sharp, witty, entertaining and has insights from a host of brilliant food writers."--The Guardian

Dull

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2020

Verified Purchase

What a disappointment. I really liked the idea of an entire book of food writing - articles, interviews, questions posted to a variety of different wormen writers. But how dull it all was. Nothing light hearted at all. I only got about halfway through the book and even then I only read the start of many of the essays and interviews. Dull, dull, dull.

Loved this take on women in the food industry, and it doubled up as a great gift for a friend who also loved it!

Focus on American voices

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 November 2019

If you expect this book to be primarily about food, as I did, you will be disappointed. This book is about women, with food as the topic that glues all the essays together (mostly!) In that respect I was disappointed. However, that expectation aside, I enjoyed reading the varied essays, interviews, and the inclusion of a few sketches and photographs added extra interest. Some of the pieces were thought provoking, others made me chuckle but most had me searching online to find out more about an author/chef/farmer I had never heard of before.
As a European, I was sorry not to have the writing of some of the better known non-American women included in the book; only interviews with Nigella Lawson and Diana Henry, comments from Ruby Tandoh and Yasmin Khan.
