(More customer reviews)A Bite off Mama's Plate is a trip through time and into every woman's heart. Each chapter will bring to mind analogous events in the reader's life. Perhaps readers will record spinoffs in the Foxfire tradition for their own families to treasure.
As we approach the holidays, it is vital to remember the words of one food writer: "Without food, plenty of it and lovingly prepared, we might kill one another."
And if you don't read it, you may never know what a "bosom biscuit" is, one of the most delicious symbols in the book.

Miriam Meyers celebrates the positive role that food plays in the mother-daughter relationship. Despite their increasing freedom to pursue other roles in society, women still retain primary responsibility for food-related tasks in the home. With that responsibility comes considerable work, but it also affords women in families a special opportunity for companionship, communication, learning, and inspiration. To illuminate the ways women use this role to connect with their daughters, Meyers combines original research, encompassing focus groups, interviews, and a national survey, with a personal memoir and a wide range of other sources. She shows, in women's own voices, how food offers, more than just nourishment for the body, something for the mind, heart, and soul.
