The Cooking up Gender: the Rhetoric of Cookbooks is very interesting observations on pigeonholes of men & women, as far as cooking are concerned. "Is it egg or chicken? Which one came initially?" Fisher has shown enormous amount of study in making argument that chronological, the cookbooks' publishers were instrumental in producing stereotypes between two to start with. What is intrigued is the way that Fisher has demonstrates how publishers utilize the language, or manipulation of the language of creating the cookbooks, which appeal to the men verses kind of language utilized for conventional cookbooks. The Cooking up Gender: the Rhetoric of Cookbooks is extremely insightful, well studied and entertaining book.
