"This books takes us into the kitchens of nine women to tell the complicated story of what it takes to feed a family today. All kitchens are not equal and Pressure Cooker exposes how modern families struggle to confront high expectations and deep-seated inequalities around getting food on the table."--Jacket.

Amid concerns about rising rates of obesity and diabetes, unpronounceable ingredients, and the environmental footprint of industrial agriculture, food reformers implore parents to slow down, cook from scratch, and gather around the dinner table. But images of family meals create a fiction that does little to fix the problems in the food system. All kitchens are not equal, and deep-seated inequalities make getting food on the table a struggle. Bowen, Brenton and Elliott tell the complicated story of what it takes to feed a family today. -- adapted from jacket
