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

3.0

Ziegelman and Coe write a detailed and steeped text that looks at every fascet of American cuisine just before and during the Depression. While a riveting read, it's hard to miss the fact that they will often write an entire chapter's worth of recipes, and only have a sentence or two mentioning that things were just "different" for blacks at the time.
