Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America by Mayukh Sen

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.0

I really appreciated Mayukh's dedication to giving these women agency by only using direct quotes or sources when talking about the lives of these women. That being said it would have been nice to have a bit more context on their lives and the space that they were working in by using indirect sources. The essays constantly felt like something was missing as a result of this. Overall it felt like I was just reading a bunch of summaries on these women rather than like, compelling essays on the state of the world etc etc. I'm not going to call it a fancy Buzzfeed article but it kinda felt like it at times...
