About the Author
Reviews
"Makes a much needed contribution to American Studies by illustrating how much the discipline would profit from taking foods and foodways more seriously. . . . Neustadt brings a humanist's appreciation of historical narrative and of archival graphics (photographs, paintings, prints, ads) to her study . . . and a social scientist's alertness to function and structure. . . . She has the eye of a Eudora Welty."--American Studies
"Neustadt offers a vivid history of an American regional culture. (Cited as a 'Breakthrough Book.')"--Lingua Franca
"A book as rich in themes as a clambake is rich in flavors."--New England Quarterly
