- "Slow Cooked tells the story of how Marion Nestle achieved a late-in-life career as a leading public advocate for healthier and more sustainable diets. Coming of age in post-World War II America, she had to overcome the barriers--familial, societal, and institutional--experienced by all women in that era.

This is one woman's story with great relevance for anyone who eats"--
