I'm working on preparing a sound theory basis for my masters thesis work -- looking at post WWII US kitchens, housewives, the advertising, the conversion from cooking real food to "preparing/reheating" being acceptable as a woman and primary caretaker. I'm looking at advertising and cookbooks and obviously the folklore approach of personal experience with mama's home cooking.
I suspect you'd be great at theory for this -- the woman as caretaker and gender and sexuality in the kitchen in the post WWII through feminism through backlash today a la Michael Polan/slow food/organics and farming and megatheocorportocracy...

Many thanks in advance! (Every one loves to procrastinate .. my room mate has me reading Brouillard and some Foucault and I'm stomping through the Feminist Mystique and The Second Sex and hopefully some Sartre (I read original French just fine, if that makes a difference....)
