I grew up with a Republican mom and a Democrat dad. I learned that asking, “Am I a Demolican or a Republicrat?” was not considered funny. Ironically, as an adult, I’ve developed an aversion to both parties and prefer an unrestrained style of leadership. I was born long after the suffrage movement, but I’m familiar with inequality towards women. In 1973, I wanted a credit card, but without a man’s co-signature, I was denied. I’m also a foodie who loves to try new recipes and push the boundaries of kitchen science. Combining my interest in history with my culinary curiosity leads me down some interesting rabbit holes.
I find the irony of using cookbooks as a weapon against "a woman's place is in the kitchen" mentality of the early 1900s suffrage years...delicious.
I’m both fascinated and appalled by the history of women’s rights. I came into adulthood in the early 1970s, and, being a woman, was denied various rights. The suffragettes have always had my sympathy and my gratefulness for starting to bring about the needful change.
Suffragettes fought for their rights from many angles. One clever way to get the message out to women was through cookbooks. They were filled with practical recipes, stirred together with spicy education, and warmed over a subversive fire of increasing unrest.
This cookbook is a modern-day publication that remembers that aspect of suffrage history.
From kitchen table to protest marches, The Suffragette Cookbook is a history of female love and power.
The history of feminism is a history of women coming together. Modern feminists and Suffragettes share much in common, the same core fight spread through centuries. But the fight for women's rights goes beyond marches and protests - it is present wherever women gather. And for much of history, that has been in the kitchen.
When the Suffrage movement gained momentum, many Suffragette groups released cookbooks, declaring to the world that 'women's work', like cooking, was not lesser but something to be celebrated.…
I admire the commitment of effort and time it takes to be a political activist. There’s rarely time left over to have a personal life, or even just take the time to cook wholesome, healthy meals.
I hadn’t considered those aspects of active resistance before reading this cookbook. It really made me stop and think about the logistics of eating well while trying to save the world.
The practicality of the recipes also works well for those of us who can’t take to the streets. And it’s good to know that if I’m given the opportunity to cook for a crowd or hand out nutritious snacks at a rally or march, I can be helpful, too.
From favorite cookbook author Julia Turshen comes this practical and inspiring handbook for political activism-with recipes. As the millions who marched in January 2017 demonstrated, activism is the new normal.

These dishes foster community and provide sustenance for the mind and soul, including a dozen of the healthy, affordable recipes Turshen is known for, plus over 15 more recipes from a diverse range of celebrated chefs. With stimulating lists, extensive resources,…

I love good wordsmithery and firmly believe that words exist to be played with.
I would walk a mile for a groaner of a pun, and hold the unpopular opinion that dad-jokes are classic treasures. Having said that, it should be no surprise to learn that this cookbook is just my cup of nonpartisan tea.
Even the actual recipe instructions are clever! If it doesn’t make you laugh at least once, check your pulse; you might be dead.

I don’t need another cookbook filled with historic recipes; I already have plenty. And I don’t use them for everyday cooking. But this isn’t a collection of vintage dishes; it’s a playful pairing of modern-day foods with our presidents.
While some of the match-ups are accurate, Obama does indeed love guacamole; other matches are just for fun. George Washington, the father of our country, is assigned a trio of red, white, and blue soups. Yes, blue. I wonder what George would have thought of that?
