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

3.0

Rather interesting look at the incredible transition of American food and cooking culture that occurred mostly around the Great Depression (from WWI through to the start of WWII). From whole, farm-fresh local cooking and preserving - to shelf stable, factory produced nutritionally enhanced agribusiness diets. Much to unpack, and the book tries hard to cover a wide swath of ground.
