"The Kitchen Sisters off-beat kitchen stories make me want
to walk through my neighborhood, go on a road trip and eat
the food of family -- they have heart."
Francis Ford Coppola Hidden Kitchens, the popular and highly acclaimed radio
series on NPR's Morning Edition, is the inspiration for a
new book by the Peabody Award-winning producers, The
Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva. Hidden
Kitchens explores the world of street corner cooking,
legendary meals, kitchen rituals, and visionaries - how
communities come together through food. When the Hidden Kitchens project began, The Kitchen Sisters
and co-producer Jay Allison, opened up a 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. Hidden Kitchens: Stories Recipes and More" interweaves
stories and characters from the radio series, with phone
messages from listeners and a wealth of new material from
the enormous archive of interviews, photographs, and
recipes gathered for the series. There are stories about a midnight cabyard kitchen on the
streets of San Francisco, makeshift kitchens crammed in the
racing pits of NASCAR, a secret civil rights kitchen tucked
away in a house in Montgomery, and the most unexpected
hidden kitchen of all, The George Foreman Grill. The reader
gets a peek inside the world of secret, little known,
private kitchens, where traditions are carried on and
communities are tended and fed — from the freighter
galleys of the Great Lakes, to fire pits in Kentucky, to a
fennel patch in San Francisco.
