À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the James Beard Award–winning blogger behind The Everywhereist come hilarious, searing essays on how food and cooking stoke the flames of her feminism.

“With charm and humor, Geraldine DeRuiter welcomes us into her personal history and thus reconnects us with ourselves.”—Mikki Kendall, New York Times bestselling author of Hood Feminism

ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR

When celebrity chef Mario Batali sent out an apology letter for the sexual harassment allegations made against him, he had the gall to include a recipe—for cinnamon rolls, of all things. Geraldine DeRuiter decided to make the recipe, and she happened to make food journalism history along with it. Her subsequent essay, with its scathing commentary about the pervasiveness of misogyny in the food world, would be read millions of times, lauded by industry luminaries from Martha Stewart to New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells, and would land DeRuiter in the middle of a media firestorm. She found herself on the receiving end of dozens of threats when all she wanted to do was make something to eat (and, okay fine, maybe take down the patriarchy).

In If You Can’t Take the Heat, DeRuiter shares stories about her shockingly true, painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) adventures in gastronomy. We’ll learn how she finally got a grip on her debilitating anxiety by emergency meal–planning for the apocalypse. (“You are probably deeply worried that in times of desperation I would eat your pets. And yes, I absolutely would.”) Or how she learned to embrace her hanger. (“Because women can be a lot of things, but we can’t be angry. Or president, apparently.”) And how she inadvertently caused another international incident with a negative restaurant review. (She made it on to the homepage of The New York Times’s website! And she got more death threats!)

Deliciously insightful and bitingly clever, If You Can’t Take the Heat is a fresh look at food and feminism from one of the culinary world’s sharpest voices. Culinaire Gastronomie Nourriture et vin Professionnels et universitaires Questions de genre Sciences sociales Drôle Spirituel

I truly enjoyed this as an audio book. The narrator being the author really gave this book the edge I needed to really enjoy it and have some very good points hit home. DeRuiter gives voice to the struggles so many women face every day.

I don’t cook. I can’t cook. I’ve ruined thousands of dollars of ingredients attempting the simplest recipes. But I love to eat and I could listen endlessly to Geraldine narrate her kitchen and dining exploits. I also rage alongside her at the rampant misogyny that made me, and other female non-cooks, feel “less than” for a lack of culinary skills. Hilarious, poignant, touching, mouthwatering, and saucy, this is a cook book to savour again and again.

A tasty meal of life, love, fury, and all good things
