Title: Cooking technology
Description: New scientific discoveries, technologies, and techniques often find their way into the space and equipment of domestic and professional kitchens. This book reveals the impact these and the associated broader sociocultural, political, and economic changes have on everyday culinary practices, explaining why people transform--or, indeed, refuse to change--their kitchens and food habits. Focusing on Mexico and Latin America, the authors look at poor, rural households as well as kitchens of the well-to-do and professional chefs. What emerges is an image of Latin American kitchens as places where "traditional" and "modern" culinary values are constantly being renegotiated.--
