SORRY, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
In the late 40s, male cookbook writers and columnists tried to assert their kitchen superiority, not just in the restaurant, but even at home. They voiced contempt for the safe, unimaginative, three-meals-a-day cook (i.e. women), and set themselves up as the opposite: sophisticated, yet rugged hosts, whose repertoires ranged from he-man cowboy dishes (baked beans, steak, BEAR) to exotic dishes implying a well-travelled past.
Chef Emily Zimmerman will attempt to overcome her female frailty and recreate a meal that any post-war, urbane, gentleman host could serve up to a gaggle of fellows and lovelies.
