Issue 12. May 2011 : JAEL MCHENRY Interview

Jael McHenry met with Drum editor Henriette Lazaridis Power on May 25, 2011 to record an interview for The Drum. Taking her novel The Kitchen Daughter as a starting point, Jael answered questions about cooking culture and history, the meaning of recipes and the ways they bind us together, and the narrative challenges and opportunities of writing from the point of view of a character with Asperger's Syndrome. She also described her favorite Manhattan street food, and gave tips on that invaluable skill of supreme-ing an orange.
