“Most of us remember fondly our grandmothers' and mothers' kitchens but it can hardly be true that all of them enjoyed cooking. For most of history, and even today, cooking has not been a choice for women and, in the most extreme of cases, it has been the reason for their deaths. The luxury to be able to choose to cook is a class privilege. What to make of it, then?!”
