Notes about this book

  • Shelmar on August 30, 2020

    It's a cookbook with over 300 recipes, but it's really cultural anthropology, with a lot of reverence, and a lot of snark. The 1920s to the 1950s: Tea Rooms, Ladies' parties, Family dinners, Nursery fare, WWII rationing, and post-war suburban cooking where suburbanites consume 52 cans of condensed cream of mushroom soup a year, without ever eating a bowl of mushroom soup. Square Meals is a delightful read. This would be a good companion textbook in an American history class.
