Join curator and food historian Maite Gomez-Rejon in conversation with Kim Fay as they discuss the life and legacy of Barbara Hansen, the importance of food writing, recording recipes, and the role of women in culinary history. In the 1960s and 70s, Hansen became one of the first food writers to write about international cuisines in Los Angeles through her work at the LA Times, most notably her groundbreaking column Border Line. Like Josefina, Barbara was ahead of her time.
