“Move over, Martha! (and Snoop), these women can cook! This truly one-of-a-kind cookbook features a delicious helping of women's history along with delightful recipes.”—Becca Anderson, author of The Book of Awesome Women
#1 Bestseller in Media Tie-In
Feminism meets cooking in this updated addition to the Wild Woman series. With over 100,000 copies sold of the original, pair recipes by famous female chef Lynett Rohrer and food writer Nicole Alper with food-related stories, trivia, and quotes for women by women.
A funny cookbook with stories for the wild woman who loves real food. When stereotypes abound, it can be easy to forget that women have been cooking up a storm for quite some time. Catherine de’Medici was the Johnny Appleseed of Italian food. Nancy Hart shot a Royalist soldier for barging in and interrupting dinner. Women who risk it all really can take the heat. Maybe it’s best to stay out of their kitchen.
Unconventional ladies and unconditionally good food. Part food recipe book, and part women’s history, Wild Women in the Kitchen features 101 recipes to complement the culinary contributions of famous women in history. With starter recipes curated specifically to each featured wild woman, this feminist recipe book replaces stereotypes with empowering context while also providing a felicitous food fix. Famous cooks Lynett Rohrer and Nicole Alper take you on a delicious journey through history in this easy to understand recipe book.
Inside, learn how to cook like a wild woman and:
- Fix Haschich Fudge with Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Tokas
- Serve cucumber sandwiches in Natalie Barney’s Parisian salon
- Create Canard a l’orange like Catherine de’Medici
If you enjoyed funny cookbooks and empowering cook books for women like Black Food, Trejo's Tacos, or Taste Makers, then you’ll savor Wild Women in the Kitchen.

About the Author
Nicole Alper is an award-winning journalist with a 20-year career as a travel and food writer. Her work has been published in more than 100 national magazines, including Gourmet. She is a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, certified chef/baker, published cookbook author, and has had the honor of both cooking for and interviewing the late Julia Child.
Lynette Rohrer Shirk is an accomplished chef and cookbook author. She has authored nine books, served as the corporate pastry chef for Williams-Sonoma, and worked in kitchens of some of the best restaurants in the country. Lynette got her first culinary experience in Columbus, Ohio making pizza while attending Ohio State University. She graduated in 1989 with a degree in Classics, moved to San Francisco to attend the California Culinary Academy, and worked in the pastry department at the well-known restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley. Lynette is a native of Warren, Ohio.
Autumn Stephens was born in a New Mexico mining community whose population began to dwindle shortly after her arrival (though she swears this was mere coincidence) and finally faded from the map altogether. She spent the rest of her childhood in Eugene, Oregon. Initially, she intended to become a psychologist, but when she noticed that her introductory psych classes at Stanford University tended to focus on the behavior of rats rather than that of human beings, she signed up as a Creative Writing major instead. During several subsequent years as an afterhours creative writer; daytime wage slave, Stephens worked as a medical coder, a phone sex script writer, a composer of fraudulent Tarot prognostications, and something called a "special investigator" for the State Bar of California. More than any other experience, however, her stint as an old fashioned legal secretary (among other absurdities, the job involved the daily composition of a heart-healthy salad for a high maintenance male boss) honed the deliciously snide feminist sensibility which informs Stephens' writing today. (Well, okay, growing up more or less concurrently with the women's movement of the 1960s and 1970s helped too.) Stephens is the author of the popular "Wild Women" books published by Conari Press, including Wild Women, Wild Women in the White House, Wild Words for Wild Women, Loose Cannons, Drama Queens, and Out of the Mouths of Babes. Stephens also freelances for magazines, reviews women's writing for the San Francisco Chronicle, and enjoys an entirely attorney free lifestyle. Currently, she lives in Berkeley, California, a city that she would like better were it not for an uncharacteristically restrictive ordinance against raising miniature pigs in one's backyard. Her hobbies are sleeping and reading trashy celebrity magazines.
