| Summary |
Food reformers tell Americans to slow down. Cook from scratch. Eat dinner together. But is it really that simple? Pressure Cooker brings readers into the homes and kitchens of a diverse group of mothers to uncover what it really takes to feed the modern family and what really needs to change to ensure a fair, healthy, and sustainable food system that nourishes everyone. The unforgettable stories in this book evocatively illustrate how class inequality, racism, sexism, and xenophobia converge at the dinner table. If we want a food system that is fair, equitable, and nourishing, we must look outside the kitchen for answers. |
