Casseroles, Can Openers, and Jell-O: American Food and the Cold War, 1947-1959

"A much-needed addition to the literature of the field. ... It will be useful to university professors who teach culture in the Cold War, a growing field. In addition, with the playful quality of recipe inclusion, the book should appeal to general readers." -- Victoria Phillips, author of Martha Graham's Cold War: The Dance of American Diplomacy

"Of interest to educated readers from among the baby boomer generation who would like to think about this mid-century through the perspective of food. For students, classes that focus on food history, postwar America, and perhaps women's studies would benefit from this book." -- Anna Zeide, author of Canned: The Rise and Fall of Consumer Confidence in the American Food Industry
