Description:
Tasting Home is the history of a woman's emotional education, the romantic tale of a marriage between a straight woman and a gay man, and an exploration of the ways that cooking can lay the ground work for personal healing, intimate relation, and political community as well. Organized by decade and by the cookbooks that shaped author Judith Newton’s life, it takes us on an extraordinary journey thought the cuisines, cultural spirit, and politics of the 1940s through 2011, complete with recipes. “In this elegantly written work, there’s a sense of tension, of waiting for the other shoe to drop that creates a subliminal buzz. Through her personal story, Newton manages to weave in the entire… course of the culture, a reflection of her skills as an historian and an accomplished writer as well as a born storyteller.” —Jeanette Ferrary, author of Out of the Kitchen and M.F.K. Fisher and Me “In this captivating memoir, each vignette is pitch-perfect, lively, and engaging, striking a delicate balance between self-disclosure and universal themes of acceptance, love, community-building, and political engagement.” —Janet A. Flammang, author of The Taste for Civilization “Influenced by the civil rights struggle, the women’s movement, and the AIDS epidemic, Tasting Home is an odyssey of emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth and, like a grand meal, it is a resounding success.” — Belinda Robnett, author of African-American Women in the Struggle for Civil Rights
