TASTE MAKERS Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America

by | Read by Tovah Ott

Biography & Memoir • 6.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2021

Tovah Ott delivers this unique narrative with focused intelligence. She skillfully narrates the stories of seven immigrant women who influenced American cooking and dining with a fine sense of their ethnicities--Chinese, French, Iranian, Indian, Italian, Mexican, and Jamaican. Ott reveals their personalities, travails, and successes. Author Sen ably tells their disparate stories with rich details of how each came to food and evolved their specialties: writing cookbooks (Marcella Hazan), hosting television shows and creating a brand (Elena Zelayeta), and creating eponymous restaurants (Norma Shirley). They "established their own identities outside their own country." All succeeded on their own terms; some achieved fame, others helped their adopted country experience new tastes, and all dispelled previous notions of their native cuisine.
