The food on our plates has long been designed, twisted, and elevated by queer hands. Piecing together a dazzling mosaic of queer lives, spaces, and meals, beloved food writer John Birdsall unfolds the complex story of how, through times of fear and persecution, queer people used food to express joy and build community--and ended up changing the shape of the table for everyone. Tracing the evolution of queer food from the early decades of the twentieth century through the LGBTQ civil rights movement of post-Stonewall liberation and the devastation of AIDS, Birdsall fills the gaps between past and present. He channels the twin forces of criticism and cultural history to propel readers into the kitchens, restaurants, swirling party houses, and buzzing interior lives of James Baldwin, Alice B. Toklas, Truman Capote, Esther Eng, and others who left an indelible mark on the culinary world from the margins. Queer food, as Birdsall brilliantly reveals, is quiche and Champagne eleganza at Sunday brunch and joyous lesbian potlucks in the bunker world of Cold War homophobic purges. It's paper chicken for the gender-rebel divas of Chinese opera in San Francisco, Richard Olney's ecstatic salade composée, and Rainbow Ice-Box Cake from Ernest Matthew Mickler's White Trash Cooking. It's the intention surrounding a meal, the circumstances behind it, the people gathered around the table. With cinematic verve and delicious prose, What Is Queer Food? is a monumental work: a testament to food's essential link to modern queerness that reveals how, like fashion or pop music, cooking and eating have become a crucial language of LGBTQ+ identity. By reframing our understanding of both food and queerness, it opens the door for courageous reckoning and boundless conversation"--

The cucumber diaries juicy tidbits from the garden of my life. by Daniels, Kerry Lee,author.;

Thinking back on her childhood in the American West, writer Kerry Lee Daniel vividly remembers one special moment. She’s in third grade in her small Colorado town, and she’s starstruck by her beautiful teacher. Little Kerry knows nothing of human sexuality, gender politics, or the LGBT community. All she knows is that she is falling in love with a woman. Kerry’s crush leaves a deep impression on the dreamy young girl. Soon after that, Kerry’s family moves from idyllic Colorado to bustling Washington, DC. Heartbroken, Kerry comforts herself by turning the apartment building and neighborhood where she lives into a playground and speculating on the inner lives of her neighbors. Her active imagination accompanies her through a move to the Maryland suburbs, a beauty pageant, and a return to her "heart’s home" of Colorado. Although Kerry’s a dreamer, she’s still aware of societal and familial expectations. She marries a good friend because that’s what she thinks she’s supposed to do. But she soon confronts the truth she has known since the third grade: she is attracted to women. Armed with this new revelation, Kerry courageously decides to change her life and find true love…and that’s when her adventures really begin!

Burn the place / by Regan, Iliana,1979-author.(CARDINAL)805116;

Iliana Regan grew up the youngest of four headstrong girls on a small farm in Indiana. While gathering raspberries as a toddler, Regan intuitively understood to pick only the ripe fruit; orange flutes of chanterelle mushrooms beckoned her in the fields while they eluded others. Regan's intense connection to food and the earth has been with her from an early age, but connecting with people was more difficult. She grew up gay in an intolerant community, was an alcoholic before she turned twenty, and, as a woman working in an industry dominated by men, she struggled to find her place. But cooking helped her navigate the strangeness of the world around her -- making pasta with her mother, getting her first restaurant job at age fifteen, teaching herself cutting-edge cuisine while hosting an underground supper club, and working her way up to running her own kitchen. Regan cooks with instinct, memory, and an emotional connection to ingredients that can't be taught. Written from that same place of instinct and emotion, Burn the Place tells Regan's story in vivid prose and brings readers into a world that is entirely unforgettable.
