I've been in deepest Vermont for the past few days, teaching food writing at Sterling College. It's a fantastic school that is also a working farm - and the students turned out to be wonderful. Really good writers. One of the students is working on a moving piece about her Indian roots. I promised to send a short list of pieces I admire that tackle the subject of food and race. Then I threw in a couple on gender as well. This is very preliminary, but I thought you might also be interested.
