Andrew Smith discusses Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine
In Eating History, food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith recounts—in delicious detail—the thirty major moments that made contemporary American cuisine. The diet of the modern American wasn’t always as corporate, conglomerated, and corn-rich as it is today, and the style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose it, has never been fixed. With a cast of characters that includes bold inventors, savvy restaurateurs, ruthless advertisers, mad scientists, adventurous entrepreneurs, celebrity chefs, and relentless health nuts, Smith pins down the truly crackerjack history behind how America eats. Ultimately he shows how, by revisiting this history, we might reclaim the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.
