American Food: A Not-So-Serious History

A tour of the most iconic all-American foods, from Ambrosia to Zucchini Bread, in a whimsical illustrated history of the foods we love to eat. From A-Z, this book goes into the history, variety, and sometimes dubious lore of the most classic dishes and ingredients that are sometimes so common we take them for granted. The complex histories and back stories of ingredients we take for granted are rescued from obscurity, misinformation, and urban myths. Lern the stories behind our most ordinary foods, and what these say about who we are.
