Editorial Reviews

Review

“As a food writer, you’re often told to ‘stick to food.’ Julia Turshen knows better. She knows that food *is* politics, from the diverse array of people who cook it to those who work so hard grow it. And if you want to get optimistic about it-and hey, why not?-it’s the one thing that unites us all.”-Adam Rapoport, Editor in Chief,Bon Appétit

“Julia Turshen is my ‘shero.’ In Feed the Resistance, she gives us a manifesto for food activism. From essays by fellow food fighters like Bryant Terry, Caleb Zigas, and Shakirah Simley to a resource list for novices to recipes that can feed small gatherings or multitudes, she blazes a trail for those who want to use food to create change. If that weren’t enough, all profits go to the ACLU. Buy this book and begin your own food journey.”-Dr. Jessica B. Harris, Culinary Historian and Author, My Soul Looks Back

“What an incredible reminder of the power of food to bring people together. This book will inspire you, will make you want to talk, to listen, and to act. It will also make you very hungry.”-Abbi Jacobson, Co-creator and Co-star, Broad City

“The best cookbooks are catalogs of ideas.”-John T. Edge, Director, Southern Foodways Alliance,and Author, The Potlikker Papers

“What can you do? Cook for your community and yourself.Simple food-honestly sourced and lovingly made-creates connections, gives fuel to the fight, starves ignorance and apathy. Where to start? With a spoon and a pot and this inspiring, instructive book.”-Adam Sachs, Editor in Chief, Saveur

Activism through food

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I love a good cookbook and this does not disappoint in that regard. But what I like best about this book is that Julia Tershen used her skills and knowledge for her activism. This reinforces my belief that we don't need to be in the streets if that isn't where we can make the most impact on our cause. This book includes activist profiles and tips along with recipes focused on feeding large groups, portable food, and easy-to-prepare items. Perfect self-care for activists.

Political Cookery?

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I don't consider myself very political, so I got this book for two reasons: I love Turshen's thoughtful approach to cooking and the title sounded something more seriously different about cooking which I really have been thinking about lately, i.e., food speaks to more than nourishing bodies, it aldo nourishes minds and emotions. Thank you for crystallization in a way I hadn't quite considered. Marx said (much more intelligently than I) that if he had someone philosophically by the age of six, he had them intellectually the rest of their lives, and when one adds in the full parameters of feeding them, it makes perfect sense. Thus, if I want someone to think as I do, act as I do, or simply as I would desire, I need to go all in. If I want to help them, change them, or indeed, change the world, I start simply and saintly, doing my best: feeding my culture, my religion, my hopes, doubts, fears and most of all, my love without any ideas attached, just feeding them to whomsoever was around at the moment. In some weird way this makes perfect sense. My father always said we were obligated by Life (or God) to leave our piece of the world better than we found it, down to wiping splashed water off the sink after washing our hands (even though my brother was a slob and left a wet mess that wasn't my fault, dammit!) without blame or fault as to who made the mess, just fix it bcs you can. Julia Turshen seems to believe one can fix a lot with food. I humbly agree and it helps that there are some unique and wonderful recipes in this book. The simple sweet potatoes and starkly divine. The bread pudding is to die for. The causes are up to us as she points out: every cause is served better with food, and some of my own precious ones are even served better without my words. Good on, Julia. Sorry, but by the grace of Julia Child, a Julia speaking to the inherent justice, equality and love in food allows first person relationship with that cook forever. Cuidada, chica, you are heard well. Yes, five stars as the issue includes recipes, kitchens, hearts, minds, and souls.

This little book is big on ideas! Changing everyday behavior, like going to a restaurant, where people don't look like you to participating and/or creating groups for citizen action. It's a treasure. I bought many to give as gifts and very proud to say that the money is going to a great organization, the ACLU. You give and get at the same time!

Good Eats - Quick, Easy and Cheap!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2017

I don't believe that anyone ever has enough of those good, cheap and easy recipes that can be put together to feed even a crowd in just a few minutes. Feed the Resistance: Recipes + Ideas for Getting Involved is a small (28 recipes from a about as many chefs) but brilliant collection of just such recipes, ones that I have had great fun with. Let me tell you about a few of my favorites:

►Thai Yellow Curry Vegetable Pot - 6 Stars out of 5!

If you keep this book around for no other recipe, you must try this one! Using whatever you happen to have handy in your vegetable drawer, half a can of Maesri Yellow Curry Paste (Kang Karee) and a can of coconut milk you can produce dinner for 4-6 in just about 20 minutes. Just add rice.

My favorite combo: a medium-ish onion, a small red or green pepper, a small zucchini, a medium potato, a sweet potato about the same size, a handful of green beans, a few leaves of chard sliced in ribbons . . . . Mmmm-mmmm good! I was a little doubtful about cooking the veg directly in the coconut milk (the recipe doesn't call for any extra broth or water unlike others I've tried) but it worked brilliantly. One of the best things I've eaten recently.

Note that yellow curry is fairly mild. If you want a hotter curry you can either use more of the curry paste or use red curry paste.

►Go-To Muhamarra Dip - 5 Stars

I don't always like to eat a "square meal." Sometimes I just like to nibble and when folks drop by I appreciate things that I can have on the table in just a few minutes. One of my favorite combos is cubed feta (I love the Bulgarian Sheep's Milk Feta from my local co-op), an assortment of olives, a big pot of hummus (I adore mine with cilantro and often put so much in the hummus that the hummus is pale green) alongside a big bowl of homemade pita chips. Starting with a jar of roasted red peppers and a handful of walnuts, this Muhammara Dip was a great addition, one that can be produced almostt as fast as you can throw the ingredients at the blender. Super easy, super good.

►Easy Posole - 5 Stars (Unless you're my son-in-law, who does not like stews or soups!)

This chicken based version of posole is quite different than the Posole that I loved so much when I lived on the Navajo Reservation and frankly, I had my doubts about this recipes as it doesn't call for either onion or garlic, things I rarely cook without. I used a package of chicken rather than a whole bird and about 3 quarts of water rather than 8. Nonetheless, this is a rich, interesting soup/stew that is very quick to produce. Be sure to top each serving with a generous handful of chopped cilantro and add a squeeze of fresh lime to the bowl for a taste not unlike the very best Tortilla Soup.

I loved this - had two bowls for dinner the night that I made it. You can find the posole/hominy in the Latino section of your supermarket.

►Sweet Potato Tzimmes Muffins - 4 Stars

The second I laid eyes on this recipe I knew it had to be one of the first I tried as it is very similar to a Sweet Potato Pudding recipe that has been in my family for more than 150 years, always a huge favorite. The muffins are moist and much of the sweetness comes from the sweet potato rather than the small amount of added honey. One daughter and I raved about them, the other daughter thought they needed to be a bit sweeter. Next time I'll add 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the other ingredients. Great keepers!

One note: The recipe calls for 2 full teaspoons of nutmeg, more than I've ever seen in a recipe for a mere 12 muffins, and a tablespoon of vanilla rather than the more usual teaspoon or two. Next time I'll cut those in half.

►Grandma's $0.02 - One of the biggest sections of my cookbook collection are those "community cookbooks" produced for various causes. Usually these support a local church or organization. I love them for the snapshot of community they bring.

Feed the Resistance: Recipes + Ideas for Getting Involved turns that idea on its head. With proceeds going to the ACLU, it is the only such "community cookbook" I've ever seen that is political rather than celebratory of our common cause and this is something that I hate to see. Many of the tips for community activism are applicable to anyone who wants to be more involved in their communities no matter which side of the political divide they fall on. Others are divisive. Food is what brings us together and promotes understanding. All of my life, my interest in and understanding of cultures other than the one I was raised in (well, the two I was raised in) has started with food and food is a teaching tool that I've used repeatedly. I would have loved this book more if political division weren't such a prominent part of the book..

Your call.
