By examining the American table through the lenses of geography, immigration, creativity, invention, and culture, this study offers a new perspective on what and how we have fed ourselves for both sustenance and enjoyment. Discover the cooks and farmers who are Native Americans who are reclaiming and reimagining Indigenous ingredients and culinary methods. Meet a Black chef who, in segregated New Orleans, demonstrated her talents on her own television program and rose to national fame and culinary impact. And discover how hummus, Jell-O dishes, fondue, and even pumpkin flavor became widespread crazes.
