From a culinary guide with the goal of assimilation to a symbol of cultural recognition, we’ll dive into a cookbook that bridged cultures and funded social programs. This cookbook taught immigrant women to cook American dishes and became a cultural talisman passed down generations. It’s a story that showcases how one cookbook became a powerful tool for integration and resilience.
I really enjoyed this episode and it’s so timely as last night at a bookclub our discussion centered on if and how food has played a roll in preserving our individual cultural identities. It was a fascinating discussion as some have what might be considered to be widely disparate backgrounds, at least at the time The Settlement Cookbook was written. I’ll be sure to let them know about this edition of AWE podcast, too. I think they will enjoy it.
