Rezensionen
Nielsen BookData
A much-needed synthesis of American food from Columbus to the present. Wallach provides a rich overview of the cultural influences that make American cuisine unique as well as the challenges facing the nation's food supply. Lively and engaging, the book will send foodies and historians alike dashing for the kitchen. -- Rebecca Sharpless, Texas Christian University America eats differently and Jennifer Jensen Wallach serves up how, why and what it all means. An intriguing, surprising and delicious read! -- Francine Segan, Food Historian and James Beard Award nominated author With the dexterity of a master carver, wielding a razor-sharp edge, Jennifer Wallach fillets and slices the history of American eating elegantly, economically, and comprehensively. Alternately appetizing and dyspeptic, the story makes entertaining and instructive reading. Alternately mild and ferocious, the message is minatory. Food has nourished American virtues, but has also tempted America into indulgence, delusion, and danger. -- Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, University of Notre Dame This nuanced account synthesizes key secondary texts and adds a dash of primary source material to create a compelling and readable account of the evolution of America's quirky (and oftentimes inconsistent) eating habits and attitudes. This book should interest anyone seeking an accessible look into the development of American foodways and the broader historical contexts which shaped them. -- Rachel A. Ankeny, Program Coordinator, Graduate Program in Food Studies, University of Adelaide, Australia Weiterlesen…
