Diálogo
This article analyzes cultural and gender politics, and the representation of food in Cocina ecléctica (1890). This unique cookbook, edited by Argentine writer Juana Manuela Gorriti, compiles recipes written by a group of prominent women figures and intellectuals in several countries of Spanish America. Following Pierre Bourdieu’s theory, Gorriti could be considered as an agent that accumulated cultural and social capital. Her cookbook created a space for feminist discourse, and introduced indigenous ingredients and cooking technologies in the sophisticated bourgeoisie cuisine of that era. By doing so, Gorriti and her collaborators proposed a criollo, or Spanish-American, cuisine capable of reformulating …

An examination of the interaction of foodways with personal history, collective memory, and identity formation, through the food-centered life histories of two Mexican women, first generation immigrants living in the U.S. Discusses espacios de convivencia, social relations orchestrated on women’s terms, the centrality of corn in the household’s diet (and changes due to the implementation of new technologies), and the significance of festive meals in relation to personal identity, to draw conclusions on women’s agency in preserving collective memory and knowledge through foodways. Includes Chicana feminist theories on women’s spaces and ways of knowing.

Culinary Mestizaje: An Afro-Latino Collective Sensory Memory, Meredith E. Abarca
Diálogo
On the premise that culinary mestizajes express the complexity and often contradictory histories reflected in cultural values, this study examines historical, cultural, and symbolic stories that inform the foundation of a variety of Latino cuisines, with particular emphasis on African culinary influences on Latino food preparations. The purpose of the study is not to trace the history of any single food, but to consider the mnemonics of collective palate memories embedded in lived histories, and articulations of Claude Fischler’s idea of a “principle of tastes.”

Two recently published books examine the concept of “Mexican food” in the U.S. and Mexico. Gustavo Arellano’s Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America (2012) provides a readable journalistic examination of Mexican food in the U.S., and Jeffrey Pilcher’s Planet Taco: A Global History of Mexican Food (2012) offers an academic study of Mexican food presentations in a global setting by an established scholar. Each offers an entry for the field of Mexican food studies. This reading examines correlations of power in the colonial process and development of contemporary cuisine, drawing the conclusion that the concept of “Mexican food” is …

Green Chile And Flour Tortillas: The Making Of A Standard New Mexican Cuisine, Stephanie M. Sánchez
Diálogo
Regional and ethnic cuisines result from generations of cultural mixing and adaptation. In the case of regional New Mexican cuisine, a food culture distinct from other southwestern diets, emerged since the colonial era, based on the central role of chile peppers, both green and red varieties. The mestizaje in preparations of such as flour tortillas, sopaipillas, and blue corn further defines New Mexican culinary traditions. The unique ingredients and cooking practices of New Mexico cuisine are assessed in this article as essential expressions of cultural identity and regional tourism, and are increasingly important to marketing and the agricultural industry.
