America's Collectible Cookbooks The History, the Politics, the Recipes

In Mary Anna DuSablon's look at the two hundred-year evolution of American cookbooks, these authors receive their due--not simply as recipe peddlers, but as shapers of American culture. This book describes how government and industry joined forces to woo women back into the kitchen after the world wars. And it hails the role of the cookbook as a fund-raiser during the many years of social reform.Dusablon, Mary Anna is the author of 'America's Collectible Cookbooks The History, the Politics, the Recipes' with ISBN 9780821410578 and ISBN 0821410571.
