Baking as Biography

"This is excellent! Diane Tye has done a wonderful job of weaving together her own story with that of the larger culture. The text moves seamlessly from data to commentary with theory and ethnographic accounts interspersed in a natural, logical way." -Lucy Long, International Studies & American Culture Studies, Bowling Green State University "This book therefore lends itself well to multiple readings. It may be read as a biography or as a careful work of scholarship that sits between Folklore and Women's Studies, or one can read and make use of its recipes. In the interest of becoming a culinary tourist in my own right, I will be making 'Molasses Drop Cookies,' 'Thimble Cookies,' 'Chow,' and 'Chiffon Cake,' all of which may be found in this delightful book."
