Finding "Hidden Kitchens"

Those famed PBS Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, have written a tasty book called “Hidden Kitchens.” Known primarily for the popular radio show, “Lost & Found Sound,” Davia and Nikki present 12 stories, 100 color photographs, and 30 recipes from every corner of the United States in this unique publication from Rodale. “The Kitchen Sisters understand that food is more than just food,” writes Alice Waters (founder of Chez Panisse), “it’s about our connections to one another and our place in the world.”

Among the kitchens featured in “Hidden Kitchens” are: a midnight cabyard kitchen in San Francisco; makeshift kitchens in NASCAR racing pits; a secret civil rights kitchen in Montgomery, Alabama; and an unexpected kitchen of the homeless.

I think “Hidden Kitchens” would make a wonderful addition to your holiday gift list. For more information, go to http://www.kitchensisters.org/.
