TASTE MAKERS - SEVEN IMMIGRANT WOMEN WHO REVOLU...

Who's really behind America's appetite for foods from around the globe? This group biography
from an electric new voice in food writing honours seven extraordinary women  all immigrants 
who left an indelible mark on the way Americans eat today. Taste Makers stretches from the
Second World War to the present  with absorbing and deeply researched portraits of figures
including Mexican-born Elena Zelayeta  a blind chef  Marcella Hazan  the deity of Italian
cuisine and Norma Shirley  a champion of Jamaican dishes. In imaginative  lively prose  Mayukh
Sen-a queer  brown child of immigrants-reconstructs the lives of these women in vivid and
empathetic detail  daring to ask why some were famous in their own time but not in ours and why
others shine brightly even today.
