What is Secret Ingredients : Race, Gender, and Class at the Dinner Table about?

In __Secret Ingredients__, acclaimed author Sherrie A. Inness exposes how women have used recipes and cooking to challenge the status quo. Hiding within seemingly ordinary cookbooks are revolutionary messages from women about social and cultural norms. Surprising but true, something as mundane as a cookbook can contain subtle and not-so-subtle protests against traditional and accepted viewpoints. Exploring cookbooks including 1950s convenience food, 1970s natural food, 1980s ''white trash'' cuisine, and the surprise success of the Two Fat Ladies books from the 1990s, Inness reveals recipes for social change in MomвЂTMs pot roast and even mini-marshmallow Jell-O salad. She shows that cookbooks are rich and complex, and reveal more than they seem to about womenвЂTMs evolving role in society. __Secret Ingredients__ uncovers how modern cookbooks continue to be a valuable tool for understanding the ways race, class, ethnicity, and gender intersect in the United States.
