Something from the oven : reinventing dinner in 1950's America

Author:	Laura Shapiro
Publisher:	New York, N.Y. : Viking, 2004.
Edition/Format:	Book : Biography : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	A narrative history of how American home cooking changed in the 1950s--from "anti-cooking" marketing to Julia Child.
