Every meal and every diet has a story - whether it relates to presidents and first ladies or to the poorest of urban immigrants. This book brings together the best and most inspiring of those stories, from the 1840s to the present, focusing on a remarkable assembly of little-known or forgotten Americans who determined what our country ate during some of its most trying periods. The author unearths cookbooks and menus from rich and poor, urban and rural, long-past and near-presnt and uses them to answer some fascinating puzzles.
