Amy Cox Hall serves up a compelling counternarrative to that of the celebrated male chefs who have made Peru a global culinary destination in recent decades. She presents the fascinating stories of unheralded women cookbook authors, creators of cooking schools and TV shows, and others who preceded those chefs in the mid-twentieth century. In so doing, she makes a brilliant case for recognizing the powerful entanglements of gender, race, food, and nation in modernizing Peru. - Florence E. Babb, UNC, author of Women's Place in the Andes: Engaging Decolonial Feminist Anthropology The Taste of Nostalgia is exceptional. Clearly and beautifully written, Amy Cox Hall has grounded her study in long-term, ethical, and engaged ethnographic and archival research. It offers a significant contribution to scholarly work on food, gender, and race in Peru. It also offers a powerful corrective to dominant narratives about food and cuisine in Peru. This book draws you in, holds on, and does not let go. - María Elena García, University of Washington, author of Gastropolitics and the Specter of Race: Stories of Capital, Culture, and Coloniality in Peru
