A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression by Andrew Coe, Jane Ziegelman

4.0

I read this after hearing an interview with the authors on Fresh Air. Really, it helped me understand a little more about the way my grandmother cooks, which I've always found heavy on the overcooking vegetables and a little bland. Included here is a recipe for something called a "Pea Roast" which demonstrates that anything can be combined with egg, flour, and breadcrumbs and made into a loaf. Although let's all agree that it would be better not to.
