"Lively, well-researched and thoroughly engrossing." -- Newsday
"An amazing and wonderful book." -- Providence Journal
"This fascinating culinary history documents the intimate, ever-changing ties between American women and food." -- Utne
"A passionate, groundbreaking book that will not only make you appreciate the culinary journey of the apronned ones who stood the heat of the cookstove for centuries, but also understand why they sometimes had an attitude! It might inspire you to put on an apron and cook some of the mouth watering, time-kissed recipes in this remarkable book." -- Dr. Vertamae Grovenor, NPR cultural correspondent and author of Vibration Cooking
"Cooking is a fascinating and very real lens through which to study the history of women in our culture. In this beautifully written work, Laura Schenone takes on the dual roles of historian and story teller, reminding us of how women have expressed and experienced and created so much through and with food. And she inspires us to hold onto and extend the heritage, even in the face of our modern, hectic lives." -- Mollie Katzen, author of The Moosewood Cookbook
