Tenement Talk - Tastemakers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America

Enjoy a virtual conversation with author Mayukh Sen on his acclaimed new book, "Tastemakers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America," streamed live from inside our recreated 1960s tenement apartment. A rich, detailed account of path-breaking 20th Century chefs and their stories, "Tastemakers" shares stories of women like Marcella Hazan, champion of Italian cooking, and Buwei Yang Chao, who brought stir-fry to US kitchens. Explore how these immigrant women cooked, wrote, challenged the food establishment, and ultimately shifted American palates. Mayukh Sen will be joined in discussion with Charlotte Druckman, food writer and journalist.
This program is part of our series exploring how family history and stories are passed down over generations.
