Résumé:
Blending architectural and social history with the necessity for food, this book attempts to understand the development of the American house by viewing it through one very specific lens: the food axis. The author Elizabeth Collins Cromley explores all areas of food management within the home -- preparation, cooking, consumption, and disposal. Studying the use and interaction of these spaces, and the ways in which their components change over time, the author shows how these elements have helped shape the multiple forms of residential architecture in the United States, from the first settlement period to the present.
