%X Why does foodmaking matter? It does partly because it holds within it so much of everyday life, thought and activity across time, place and generation. This article explores women¡¯s embodied foodmaking knowledge as ¡®thoughtful practice¡¯. It examines cookbooks as a form of nostalgia and explores aspects of gustatory nostalgia in the creation of ¡®manuscript¡¯ cookbooks and their variation in the twenty-first century. It also reconstructs, in part, the history of a family ¨C of sisters, aunts, grandmothers, mothers, daughters ¨C as told through cookbooks and, in particular, a recipe for sponge cake.
