ReviewsFrom THE MIAMI HERALD and THE PALM BEACH POST A Chicago homeless man explains the beauty of the George Foreman Grill that he uses to make meals in a tunnel. An inmate at Louisiana's Angola prison made praline candies while in solitary confinement. There are underground meetings of raw milk societies in New York City and Indiana.Who knew? In one of the year's best nonfiction audio books , National Public Radio's Kitchen Sisters - Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva - take you to weird places where people sometimes create strange food, proving that not everyone in this country eats only microwave or takeout.You meet the Chili Queens of San Antonio and vegetarian tailgaters at Phish concerts; You visit a cooking schoolat a San Francisco jail. After Nelson and Silva put out the word on all-powerful NPR for listeners to call in their favorite hidden kitchens, they were swamped with responses. This audiobook lets you hear those radio tips that were taped on an answering machine. Actress Frances McDormand as the reader is more than you should expect for $19.95. She fits this material perfectly (remember the pregnant deputy in Fargo , asking about buffets?) As a bonus, you get to hear Tony Joe White's Polk Salad Annie . You'll love this audio book if you're a fan of NPR's eclectic mix of stories on All Things Considered , which first aired the Kitchen Sisters . These stories, each one better than the last, stream past : Mexican street vendors; a Sicilian gourmet cook; cooking for NASCAR teams; Native Americans harvesting wild rice in northern Minnesota.My advice? Buy four or five copies for holiday gift-giving, because you don't know anyone who won't love Hidden Kitchens ., From THE MIAMI HERALD and THE PALM BEACH POST A Chicago homeless man explains the beauty of the George Foreman Grill that he uses to make meals in a tunnel.

Their stories, highlighted with photos, always grab you." -- The New York Times "The Kitchen Sisters are my favorite storytellers. Their offbeat and heartfelt kitchen stories make me want to walk through my neighborhood, go on a road trip, and eat the food of family." -- Francis Ford Coppola "The Kitchen Sisters have done some of the best radio stories ever broadcast." -- Ira Glass, host and producer of This American Life

SynopsisA wonderful chronicle of American life and how family and community traditions are passed along through food, "Hidden Kitchens" complements the NPR series of the same name, produced by the Peabody Award-winning "Kitchen Sisters," Nelson and Silva. 100 photos., "The Kitchen Sisters off-beat kitchen stories make me want to walk through my neighborhood, go on a road trip and eat the food of family -- they have heart." Francis Ford Coppola Hidden Kitchens, the popular and highly acclaimed radio series on NPR's Morning Edition, is the inspiration for a new book by the Peabody Award-winning producers, The Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva. Hidden Kitchens explores the world of street corner cooking, legendary meals, kitchen rituals, and visionaries - how communities come together through food. When the Hidden Kitchens project began, The Kitchen Sisters and co-producer Jay Allison, opened up a NPR Hotline and asked listeners, "What food traditions are disappearing from your life?" "Who glues your community together through food?" Hundreds of listeners called to share their stories, tips and rituals. Hidden Kitchens: Stories, Recipes and More interweaves stories and characters from the radio series, with phone messages from listeners and a wealth of new material from the enormous archive of interviews, photographs, and recipes gathered for the series. There are stories about a midnight cabyard kitchen on the streets of San Francisco, makeshift kitchens crammed in the racing pits of NASCAR, a secret civil rights kitchen tucked away in a house in Montgomery, and the most unexpected hidden kitchen of all, The George Foreman Grill. The reader gets a peek inside the world of secret, little known, private kitchens, where traditions are carried on and communities are tended and fed - from the freighter galleys of the Great Lakes, to fire pits in Kentucky, to a fennel patch in San Francisco.
