A Conversation with Ann Vilesis: Kitchen Literacy

Cooking Up a Story: Food News PART 1—A conversation with author, Ann Vileisis about her new book Kitchen Literacy ; what we know about our food, and how we came to know it. For Ann, Kitchen Literacy came about because she was struck by how much she didn’t know about the common foods she encountered in the supermarket. In conducting her research, she was surprised to learn how much people in pre-industrial times knew about their food. It was common then to know the sex and age of an animal, the farm it came from, and even the animal’s background before purchasing the meat.
