Morning Edition series Hidden Kitchens. Davia Nelson

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
