There is no one thing in my life that I have not been able to achieve , attempt or the manner in which I live my life because I was born a female.
Through my study in the history of cooking , it is evident that cooking was women`s work but men`s art.
`Take in account the noted Careme well noted for his pavilions of jelly and sugar , while even back then it was the women feeding the families .
Men had and have names , women fill roles ...nurturing , caring , generosity , hospitality , communication.
Vatel the famous male chef who killed himself when the fish never arrived for the king`s dinner ......seriously a woman would have improvised never considering the option of"out " a mother would have gone without , and all present would have marvelled at the result ..
Men achieved fame while women cooks remained anonymous.
To be fair in early times named and literate women published cookbooks ....but check out the titles that betrayed them....
The Compleat Housewife
The Art Of Cookery Made Plain And Easy
Household Management.
While men were writing ...
Ma Cuisine
The Cooks`s paradise
The message was clear women worked behind the scenes...men starred`
" From the introduction ...THE WOMEN`S COOKBOOK 1992
I do not think much has changed over the years .
Long live the tradition of women cooks ( home cooks and professional ) and your recipes revered .
