Introduction

Laurie Lissaraga and Karen Grieksby-Bates name their favorite cuisines from literally all over the world. It's easy to take the variety we have access to in this country for granted, but what we eat tells the story of who we are,. where we come from, and how we relate to each other. For decades, it's been women, immigrants, and women of color especially, who have shaped the way you and I eat today.
