A provocative collection of food’s most distinctive female voices and subjects

Women on Food unites the radical, diverging female voices of
the food industry in this urgent collection of essays, interviews,
questionnaires, illustrations, quotes, and ephemera. Edited by Charlotte

evolution of food writing in the last few decades, Women on Food brings together food’s most vital female voices.
