"An East Village bookstore used as a hands-on research resource for paging through mid-20th-century cookbooks; researchers examined covers and recipes there to trace how desserts and gender roles were marketed, noting opulent, hyper-sexualized imagery and recipes aimed at pleasing men. The shop provided primary-source material that helped contextualize historical tropes around cake and domesticity." - Bettina Makalintal
