Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2011
The Sterns take big bites into a juicy part of American food history, the mid-20th century, post-WWII. Even if you never liked cocktail sausages, tuna noodle casserole or jello, you'll still enjoy reading about the various food trends of the 50's-80's, including new (to Americans) foreign foods, five-star restaurants and cooking from cans. The Sterns are refreshingly nonjudgmental about eating habits that would make many of us cringe today and even when critiquing a dish or eatery, they do it with gentle (never malicious) humor. Includes plenty of tidbits of cultural history as well.

I borrowed a copy of this book years ago and have wanted it since. Love the well written historical story and the recipes are fabulous. I highly recommend it as a gift for anyone on your gift-giving list. It details general thought throughout the years as well as elitist and culinary attitudes. Enjoy!

Leave it to Jane and Michael Stern, whose books are always enjoyable, and this one, discussing American cuisine since we "got culture" in the years following the Second World War, is terrific.
