'There is no one to set my table' Gender Aspects in Food and Drink Preparation
Résumé
The contributions to this volume explore the themes of food and drink from many angles, from production to consumption, including the storage methods, the transformation of raw materials, as well as the economic and social aspects linked to food. This contribution tackles the topic from a perhaps less studied angle, the gender aspects of food and drink preparation. It does not include all the phases of food preparation from the providing of the flora and fauna products up to consumption, but focuses on la cuisine, i.e. the transformation of raw foodstuffs into ready-to-eat food.
A gender perspective allows us to analyse how a society attributes roles to each sex. But the differences between female and male roles in food and drink preparation depend also on the social status of the people, on the milieu and context in which they work, and on other factors, and thus involves the notion of intersectionality
