A propos de cet article

Although My Kitchen Wars is a war story, this time the warrior is a woman and the battleground the kitchen. Her weapons--the batterie de cuisine of grills and squeezers and knives--evoke a lifetime's need to make dinner, love, and war. By prying open the past with these implements, Betty Fussell gives voice to a generation of women whose stories were shaped and yet simultaneously silenced by an era of domestic strife and global conflict, from World War I to Vietnam.My Kitchen Wars also is a love story, recounting Fussell's liberation from the tyrannical Puritanism of her family by a veteran of the Good War, a young writer named Paul Fussell. But she soon finds herself captive again, constrained by the roles of faculty wife and mother. Still, she cannot stop hungering for both a life of the mind and carnal pleasures. Her inner war to unite body and mind brings down the marriage in a denouement as brutal as the whack of a cleaver. Yet Fussell, however bruised, emerges to cook another dinner and to tell her tale in this fierce and funny memoir. My Kitchen Wars was adapted into a one-woman play performed in Hollywood and New York.Betty Fussell has lectured widely on food and food history and won the 2008 James Beard Award for Magazine Feature Writing with Recipes. She is the author of eleven books, including Masters of American Cookery: M. F. K. Fisher, James Beard, Craig Claiborne, Julia Child (available in a Bison Books edition), The Story of Corn, and Raising Steaks.Laura Shapiro is the author of Julia Child (winner of the Literary Book Award from the International Association of Culinary Professionals) and several other books.…
