IAS Thursdays | Pressure Cooker: Why Home Cooking Won’t Solve Our Problems and What to Do About It

Based on extensive interviews and field research in the homes and kitchens of a diverse group of American families, the new book Pressure Cooker by Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton and Sinikka Elliot challenges the logic of the most popular foodie mantras of our time, showing how they miss the mark and up the ante for parents and children. Romantic images of family meals are inviting, but they create a fiction that does little to fix the problems in the food system.
