#2 a food-related book I'll read, "How America Eats"

 Hello. Thank you for visiting my food blog, To Be Foodie!

On this page, I'll introduce a book that I'll read in my food-culture class. 

What I'm going to read is How America Eats, A Social History of U.S. Food and Culture by Jennifer Jensen Wallach. Now, America is called a “melting pot”. This book is about American food history from the colonial era, and how the American diet has developed into the American cuisine we know nowadays.  

The author, Jennifer Jensen Wallach, is a professor of history at the University of North Texas. She wrote Closer to the Truth Than Any Fact: Memoir, Memory, and Jim Crow, Every Nation Has its Dish: Black Bodies and Black Food in Twentieth-Century America, and some other books too.

Knowing the background of a food culture must be interesting. I'll write about what I learned from this book several times.

Thank you for reading.
