and More from NPRs The Kitchen
Sisters by Davia Nelson
A Cookbook Worth Owning
Hidden Kitchens, the popular and highly acclaimed radio series on NPRs
Morning Edition, is the inspiration for a new book by the Peabody
Awardwinning producers, the Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson and Nikki
Silva. Hidden Kitchens explores the world of street corner cooking,
legendary meals, kitchen rituals, and visionarieshow communities come
together through food.When the Hidden Kitchens project began, the
Kitchen Sisters opened up an NPR Hotline and asked listeners, What food
traditions are disappearing from your life? Who glues your community
together through food? Hundreds of listeners called to share their stories,
tips, and rituals.In addition to the stories and characters from the radio
series, Hidden Kitchens interweaves new material from the enormous
archive of interviews, photographs, and recipes gathered for the series.
Stories such as The Saga of the Chili Queens of San Antonio and

NASCAR Kitchens bring to life hidden kitchens across the country. From
underground kitchens at nuclear test sites to a secret civil rights kitchen,
Hidden Kitchens is a wonderful chronicle of American life and how family
and community traditions are passed along through food.
Personal Review: Hidden Kitchens: Stories, Recipes, and More
from NPRs The Kitchen Sisters by Davia Nelson
Recipes pepper Hidden Kitchens: Stories, Recipes, and More from NPR's
The Kitchen Sisters, but Hidden Kitchens is more than just the chronicle of
the beloved National Public Radio Morning Edition series. As part of the
Hidden Kitchen project, two women called The Kitchen Sisters put forth an
NPR hotline and asked listeners, "What food traditions are disappearing
from your life? Who glues your community together through food? What
should be captured and documented before it disappears or changes
beyond recognition?" The response came like an avalanche. Hundreds of
humorous, profound, wistful, and heart-rending true stories were
submitted; the best of them are presented in Hidden Kitchens, along with
recipes, color photographs, and illustrations. From food in the galleys of
Great Lakes ships to a secret civil rights kitchen in Montgomery, Alabama,
the stories Hidden Kitchens all have in common the zest to create great
food, and through taste, help human beings connect with one another.
Highly recommended.
