进入厨房之前：烹饪书，家政管理与主妇⽂化
Cookbooks, Homemaking and Homemaker Culture

This essay traces the evolution of the cookbook—from a domestic guide to a cultural text.

More than a collection of recipes, the cookbook emerges as a record of social transformation and gendered culture—a site where the kitchen becomes both a space of thought and a stage of everyday life.

Beneath its colorful board lies a story of power, property, and the paradox of play itself—a modern fable about how we learn to win, lose, and own the world.
