(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Chef and writer Klancy Miller found her own way by trial and error-- as a pastry chef, recipe developer, author, and founder of For the Culture magazine-- but what if she had known then what she knows now? What if she had known the extraordinary women profiled within these pages-- entrepreneurs, chefs, food stylists, mixologists, historians, influencers, hoteliers, and more-- and learned from their stories? In this gorgeous volume women share the vision that drives them, the mistakes they made along the way, advice for the next generation, and treasured recipes-- all accompanied by stunning original illustrated portraits and vibrant food photography. In addition, Miller shines a light on the matriarchs who paved the way for today's tastemakers-- Edna Lewis, B. Smith, Leah Chase, Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor, and Lena Richard. These collective profiles are a one-of-a-kind oral history of a movement, captured in real time, and indispensable for anyone passionate about food"--,Provided by publisher.
