Examining the relationship between trends and innovations in the kitchen and the cultural attitudes beyond its four walls, Gdula creates a lively portrait of over 350 years of American domestic life.<i> The Warmest Room in the House </i>explores major historic themes, including the challenges of procurement in the seventeenth century, preservation in the eighteenth century, industrialization and enlightenment in the nineteenth century, and modernization in the twentieth. Gdula traces the evolution of American foods, recipes, trends, and styles of cooking, beginning with the exchanges that took place between the Powhatan Indians and the Jamestown settlers about nutrition through today&#8217;s polyglot international cuisine. Filled with fun facts about food trends, from Hamburger Helper to <i>The Moosewood Cookbook</i>, and food personalities, from Catherine Beecher to Martha Stewart, <i>The Warmest Room in the House</i> is the perfect addition to any well-rounded kitchen larder.<br> </div></div> 443583 26 12 2007 The Warmest Room in the House: How the Kitchen Became the Heart of the American Home, 1584 to the Present
