How Americans Cook Today
Book •
In Making Modern Meals: How Americans Cook Today (2007), Amy Trubek explores how Americans eat in an era of unprecedented options.
This richly descriptive book focuses on food preparation and consumption in the home, where the act of making meals remains a deeply personal and socially meaningful act.
Through in-depth interviews with people in different regions of the United States, Trubek reveals how cooking practices are changing and why.
In an age of globalization and fast food, Trubek shows that home cooking continues to be a vital expression of individuality and tradition.
