Fashionable Food by Sylvia Lovegren
Throughout, Lovegren supplements recipes - some mouth-watering, some appalling - from classic cookbooks and family magazines with humorous anecdotes that chronicle how society and kitchen technology influenced the way we lived and how we ate.
"In recent years, the subject of food has been one primarily of seriousness verging on reverenceWhile that may be wholly justified, it's refreshing to have a good laugh (at ourselves) every now and then." - Library Journal; "In often hilarious fashion, Lovegren chronicles hundreds of wacky fads as the nation's cooks moved from frozen fishsticks and fat-free brownies to Szechwan shrimp alfredo." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
A culinary historian and food writer, Sylvia Lovegren is an avid collector and reader of old cookbooks and has contributed to American Heritage and the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America.
