Food on the Page, with Megan Elias

What is in a cookbook? More than repositories of recipes, cookbooks play a role in the creation of taste on both a personal and national level. From Fannie Farmer to Chez Panisse Cooking to food blogs, American cookbooks have commented on national cuisine while also establishing distinct taste cultures. Megan Elias, author of Food on the Page: Cookbooks and American Culture, explores what it means to take cookbooks seriously as a genre of writing that is as aspirational as it is prescriptive.
