About this shelf
These stories belong to women who cook for a living or have run a kitchen most of their lives, in a bakery, a diner, a catering business or a family restaurant. The kitchen is where they think, and often where trouble shows up first: an invoice that does not match, a recipe someone claims as their own, a supplier who suddenly changes the terms. Food is written the way cooks talk about it, early mornings and burnt batches included.
