Böcker av Andrea L. Broomfield

Barbecue, fried chicken, chili, and steak: these foods immediately call to mind Kansas City's reputation for fantastic cuisine. This food biography tells the story of how geography, politics, arts, race, and culture came together to create these iconic foods and fuel a Kansas City food renaissance that is now finding renewed popularity and acclaim.

Nine recipes serve as entry points for detailing the history of food production, cooking, and diet throughout Queen Victoria's reign in England. More than that, however, Broomfield offers an introduction to the world of everyday dining, food preparation, and nutrition during one of the most interesting periods of English history.
