Description
Blending architectural and social history with the necessity-and the passion-for food, this engaging book attempts to understand the development of the American house by viewing it through one very specific lens: the food axis. Taking in far more than the kitchen, this explores all areas of food management within the home - preparation, cooking, consumption, and disposal.
