Random brain snacks, from my browser tabs to yours. 15 January 2008 9:40 am
Posted by Tracy in : anthropology, cheese, cooking, geekery, pictures, reviews, school, work , 3 commentsLet’s see if I can prevent yet another Firefox crash! Here’s a little smorgasbord of delicious internet randomness, ranging from book reviews to music videos, all food-related (no, really).
First, here’s a review of Kitchen Literacy by Ann Vilesis, which I returned, unfinished, to the library this week because somebody else had it on hold. I never really got into this book, but I am way into EL’s use of the term “retrovore”, oh yes.
Next, an old Slate piece about chefs in film, complete with little clips of movies I’ve either seen or feel vaguely obligated to see now, if only to take notes on depictions of gender in films about food and cooking. (Um, can you tell I’m supposed to be writing a project proposal for my anthropology class? Eeek.)
Here’s a good rant about what it means to be a professional cook — both good and the bad bits. (more…)
