Hello!
I’m Sarah Emily – that’s me about to eat an enormous breakfast – and welcome to my blog. I’m a South African historian who’s specialised in histories of childhood, food, and medicine.
This is not a food blog, but, rather, a blog about food – and, more specifically, about food, eating, and cooking. The world has enough recipes for red velvet cake floating around the internet. Here, I’m taking a closer look at the complex relationships between eating and identity; between cooking and politics; and between food and power.
Thanks – have reposted. Do you know of Rachel Laudan? Friend and colleague – see this blog on authenticity: http://www.rachellaudan.com/2008/02/desperately-seeking-authenticity.html
Thanks so much! I do know of her – and I love her writing.
