A representação das mulheres na gastronomia: uma análise bibliográfica sobre o papel feminino na construção das culinárias familiares tradicionais

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how women are portrayed in academic works in the field of gastronomy and whether their role in the development of traditional family cuisines is acknowledged. It is evident that the creation of these culinary traditions is directly influenced by women. When discussing traditional cuisine, the concept of family cooking is also brought into focus, as it represents the foundation of this heritage. To achieve the objectives of this research, a bibliographic study was conducted to identify, compare, and compile academic works addressing this topic. Various authors and their perspectives were analyzed to provide a solid theoretical foundation. As a result, this study is expected to contribute to a better understanding of the role of women in the kitchen, highlighting how culinary knowledge is transmitted, its significance, and its visibility in the development of local cuisine.
