for anyone who has cooked, dined out, or eaten anything... May 5, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Don't let "Oxford" scare you. Although amazingly researched and documented, the book is written for everyone who has eaten a twinkie to a
buche du noel.
Amazing history lessons on everything you like or dislike to eat.
As a native marylander, i was happy to learn the derivation of "stuffed ham"
A great gift for anyone who eats.
A fascinating and useful resource April 19, 2007
It's hard to put down - you can just open up to any page and find something interesting about food in American history - and drink too, of course. The foodie will absolutely adore having this book on their shelf! The illustrations and the historical images throughout are very interesting. The quality of the writing is excellent - I wouldn't expect anything less from Oxford. I'll be putting this right alongside my Oxford Companion to Wine!
