Abstract

The present article examines the role of gender in reinvigoration via food. It explores the interpersonal effects and regulation of emotion of food offerings. Food is a universal language. In reviewing the literature, the novel Peaches for Monsieur Le Curé by Joanne Harris’s female characters are portrayed as reinvigorating the life of others and fostering multicultural harmony in the village through food offerings. The role of production and distribution of food centers around the performance of a female character namely, Vianne Rocher uses her chocolate and peach jam to develop an amicable settlement in the dispute lives of Lansquenet Sous Tannes. The underlying mechanism of empathetic emotion regulation (EER), the performance of Vianne Rocher’s food offering becomes a means to increase positive affect for both recipient and provider. Similarly, the Muslim community's Iftar celebrations, which honor Islamic culinary practices, highlight the domestic work done by women in the preparation of meals. These women's attention to food preparation and offerings reflects their concern or expression of their religious views, as well as their concern for family members and friends and their hospitality toward guests. In the novel, the family of Djerba’s women making Iftar foods and offering them to strangers facilitates social benefits such as harmony in the cultural mosaic. The study investigates through the eyes of Hamburg et al, on the theory of the role of food in emotional regulation. The focus address: 1. Gender performance in the kitchen, 2. The aspects of performance that reinvigorate the lives done by women through food offerings. Food consumption and the offering of comfort food by women shape an optimistic multicultural environment. In addition to it, blend in culture is made possible through the field of Gastronomy in Richard. C Morais’ The Hundred-Foot Journey. Furthermore, the article explores how Madame Mallory’s acceptance towards other culture has benefitted a cook from Mumbai to get a Michelin star. It also studies how women play a major role in reinvigorating change in the life of men. The Hundred-Foot Journey portrays how preconceived notion creates a way for the cultural gap, it also gives reason for the assimilation of French and Indian culture through its characters. Furthermore, it deals with the character madame Mallory and her journey from being a tyrant hotelier to a completely different person with the help of food. Eating food together changes the perspective of the French woman’s intolerance towards Indian cuisine and the Indian chef. Food is used as an object for change in the psyche of madame Mallory. And also, Monsieur Leblanc plays a major role in her rebirth towards accepting other cultures not withholding barriers like cuisine, language and the class system
