This is the first in a series of books about American food history which Greenwood has in the works, including one that is authored by me (to appear sometime early next year.) I have mixed feelings about this series and believe that the newcomer to food history will be best served by it.
Each book follows the same basic format: an introductory chapter, followed by a list of the staple foodstuffs, followed in turn by cooking methods and equipment, customs, regional considerations, and diet and nutrition.
Some have more of a historical perspective than others, but I think this is a great list to clip and keep, in case you can't think of what to read next (as if....).
