Pressure Cooker: Why Home Cooking Won't Solve Our Problems and What We Can Do About It
by Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton, Sinikka Elliott
This book challenges the belief that home cooking can fix food-related social problems and calls for broader policy and community solutions to address inequality and access.
About This Book
Pressure Cooker investigates the idea that encouraging more people to cook at home will solve issues like obesity, food insecurity, and unequal access to healthy food.
The authors draw on research to show that structural barriers such as time, income, and kitchen resources limit the impact of home cooking initiatives.
They argue for policy changes and community-level approaches that address the root causes of food-related problems rather than focusing solely on individual behavior.
The book highlights how social inequalities shape people's ability to cook and eat well, calling for solutions that go beyond personal responsibility.
