Julia Child Day - Kitchen Sisters
to Serve Up Heaping Helping of Stories
The Kitchen Sisters will visit Smith on Thursday, Nov. 15,
as part of the college’s fourth annual Julia Child Day.
They will give a highly interactive, multimedia presentation
titled “How Communities Come Together Through Food” beginning
at 4:15 p.m. in the Campus Center Carroll Room. A gala reception
will follow. Recipes of Julia Child and the Kitchen Sisters
will be featured during the day at the Campus Center Café,
the Smith College Club for lunch, and at the reception and
in residence dining rooms. What the Kitchen Sisters dish out
on their award-winning National Public Radio show Hidden Kitchens
doesn’t only concern food and its preparation. They talk
about food, to be sure. But they also talk about community
and how people interact, share their lives and grow together.
They tell inspiring stories of struggle and triumph, about
women, children and people overcoming daunting odds to succeed.

Live interview - Hidden Kitchens Texas
You've probably heard the
Lost and Found Sound series on All Things Considered.
And chances are good that you're familiar with the
Morning Edition series Hidden Kitchens. Davia Nelson

North Texas this week - searching for hidden kitchens,
captivating stories, and great audio for their Hidden
Kitchens Texas series. They'll be with us for the
hour. Jeff Whittington will host.

Keynote
Address: Hidden Kitchens:
Secret, Underground, Unexpected, Below-the-Radar, Community
Cooking Across America, or What is it About Men and Meat and
Midnight and a Pit?
Presented by The Kitchen Sisters
"Ever
wonder what really goes on
in other people's kitchens?
You may find out when the Kitchen
Sisters -- Davia Nelson and
Nikki Silva -- co-producers
of NPR's "Hidden
Kitchens" series,
give the keynote address
at the joint conference
of the Association
for the Study of Food
and Society, and the
Agriculture, Food,
and Human Values Society (admission
for public is
$5) . They're sure
to open the door to
kitchens you've never
thought of. Case in
point: the George Foreman
Grill. Until
a listener called in
to suggest the topic,
says Silva, "we
had never considered
an appliance
as a hidden kitchen
before." The
two will pull
vignettes from
their radio series,
playing many
audio tracks
of the original
stories, recordings
that combine
dialogue, music,
and kitchen sounds.
The result is
something Silva
calls
"little movies for your
ears." -- Emily
