«[US History in 15 Foods] is well written and enjoyable to read. ... Zeide brings out the exploitative and destructive nature of the modern food system, shedding light on the negative impacts on people and the environment.»
H-Net Reviews
«Zeide takes readers on a fascinating tour of American foodways, from the pre-contact era to the present. As she tells the story of fifteen iconic foods and dishes, she traces the key political, social, and economic trends that defined the nation. Food history, this book persuasively shows, is U.S. history.»
