The Nourishing Arts Summary

In “The Nourishing Arts” , de Certeau and Giard emphasize the importance of women in preparing and cooking the meal. The authors point out that cooking is very enjoyable to most women and it is one of the major aspects to almost all cultures. However, cooking for the family is appreciated for a limited time and a woman’s work isn’t paid. The role of women in meal preparation played an important role in many societies for generations. However, it may vary from culture to culture and class to class. For example, the United States culture is shifting. In many American households the task of feeding the family has fallen on the man of the house, or is shared between partners and as societies evolve this view will continue to change.
