Abstract:This article engages with the topic of embodied information through the analysis of historic recipes, part of the Chatelaine magazine's annual contest "50 Favorite Family Recipes." The corporeal information embodied in culinary texts, when they are analyzed as records of information behavior, provides knowledge about their producers and users. More specifically, the information embedded in recipes fuels stories about women's tensed roles in the family at a time of change in Canadian culture, during the postwar years. This article proposes that a recipe read in its information environment, together with clues about its origins, functions, and consumption, indicate how users interact with the recipe, accepting, negotiating, or challenging it through cultural, political, and social gestures, while located in the everyday space of the private kitchen. The analysis is focused on a genre of dishes that is often associated with fifties and sixties forms of domesticity—the casserole—and discuss the incorporation of canned products in recipes at a time of rapid modernization through mass-produced foods.

金枪鱼面条砂锅好吃吗？食谱信息网

摘要：本文通过对历史食谱的分析来研究体现信息的主题，这是Chatelaine杂志年度竞赛“ 50个最喜欢的家庭食谱”的一部分。当将烹饪文本中包含的有形信息作为信息行为的记录进行分析时，可以提供有关其生产者和使用者的知识。更具体地说，食谱中嵌入的信息助长了关于战后几年加拿大文化变化时期女性在家庭中所扮演的角色的故事。本文建议，在其信息环境中阅读的食谱，以及有关其起源，功能和消费的线索，可以指示用户如何通过文化，政治和社会姿态与食谱互动，接受，协商或挑战食谱，而位于私人厨房的日常空间中。分析的重点是通常与五十年代和六十年代的家常菜（砂锅）有关的菜式，并讨论了在通过大量生产的食品迅速现代化的时代，将罐头食品纳入食谱的问题。
