Our recent Women in Whites gala is a wrap, but we're not done celebrating and contemplating the impact of female chefs on American food. On yesterday’s episode of Taste Matters, JBF’s Mitchell Davis invited author, journalist, and culinary historian Laura Shapiro on the air to discuss how women's roles behind the stove have evolved over the years. The pair discussed the food culture of the 1950s and how it dramatically changed our culinary landscape, how the idea of a quick, timed lunch was introduced into American culture in the early 1900s and its impact on our perception of food, and much more.

Taste Matters is a radio program dedicated to taste: as a sense, cultural construct, and culinary phenomenon. However much we talk about where our food comes from, how it’s produced, who prepares it, or what sorts of socio-cultural-political implications our food choices and eating behaviors have, taste is fundamental.
You can catch Taste Matters with Mitchell Davis live every Wednesday at 11:00 A.M. on Heritage Radio Network, or listen to the show afterwards right here on our blog. To check out past episodes, click here. Stay tuned for more!
