Neuhaus provides a rich and well-researched cultural history of American gender roles through her clever use of cookbooks."--History: Reviews of New Books "Even if you missed Jell-O salads or Pu-Pu platters, after reading Neuhaus buying a cookbook will never be the same."--American Historical Review "The entire book is well researched and documented, helping readers to see that cookbooks have supported America's dominant ideologies about gender."--Gastronomica "An excellent addition to the history of women's roles in America, as well as to the history of cookbooks."--Choice "The book has many strengths, including excellent research and cogent presentation . . . Good enough to entice more scholars to step into the kitchen."--Journal of American History
