Through the Kitchen Window or Southern Fried Yankee Cookbook

Through the Kitchen Window: Women Explore the Intimate Meanings of Food and Cooking

Author: Arlene Voski Avakian

These days any woman knows that the sensual pleasures of food and cooking are all too often obscured by the increasing demands of careers, families, battles over body image, and the desire for a life outside the "traditional" domain of the kitchen. Through the Kitchen Window offers a fresh look at food and cooking, arguing that food is a cultural declaration, an expression of hidden hungers, a symbol of our intimate connections to one another. Including memories of Latina, Geechee, Chinese and Indian kitchens, this book reveals everything from the painful struggles to overcome an eating disorder to the tantalizing delights of cornbread and barbecue eaten from a lover's hands, and challenges assumptions about women, food, and the true satisfaction of cooking.

Author: Lorene Brooks

Lorene Brooks was born in 1972 in Attleboro, Massachusetts. She moved to Florida when she was 16 and has lived there ever since. Lorene is married to her wonderful Texan husband, Jerry, and they have two beautiful children-Zachary and Rachel. Lorene was taught at a young age how to bake by her maternal grandmother and has loved cooking her entire life. After her grandmother passed away, she decided to collect all the family recipes from both her Yankee heritage and her husband's Texan heritage and create a cookbook that would preserve her family's cooking heritage. She worked hard on her project and was able to compile over 300 family recipes to create this wonderful heirloom of classic family cooking-easy cooking for everyday people. Today, Lorene is still gathering as many recipes as possible. Her cookbook continues to grow along with her love of cooking.
