9780813930077: The Food Axis: Cooking, Eating, and the Architecture of American Houses

Synopsis

Blending architectural and social history with the necessity―and the passion―for food, this engaging book attempts to understand the development of the American house by viewing it through one very specific lens: the food axis. Taking in far more than the kitchen, this explores all areas of food management within the home - preparation, cooking, consumption, and disposal.
