Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-12 00:00:00 Kenneth Cochran I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I did not realize how much I missed reading academic writing until I started reading this book. I love social histories and cooking, so this was a very interesting topic for me. I liked how it was set up by decades, and I really learned a lot about how styles of cooking and the influence of cookbooks have changed over time. This made me want to find some vintage cookbooks and try out recipes from over the decades or maybe have a theme party. I definitely related to the eras where good cooking was viewed as a creative outlet and way to gather family and friends, because that is how I feel about it. I'd definitely be interested to read McFeely's thoughts about the two decades since the 90's, with the rise of food blogging and recipe sharing through social media.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-12-08 00:00:00 Gurwinder Singh The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the sabre rattling over Iran, and the amorphous War on Terrorism have sparked a renewed interest in the Vietnam War. Franklin discusses the use of images that came out of the Vietnam War, the manipulation of the history of the anti-war movement, Vietnam veterans literature, the myth-making and lies surrounding the POW/MIA issue, and the consequences for the future. I highly recommend.
