Throughout, Lovegren supplements recipes - some mouth-watering, some appalling - from classic cookbooks and family magazines with humorous anecdotes that chronicle how society and kitchen technology influenced the way we lived and how we ate.

Trade Review
"In recent years, the subject of food has been one primarily of seriousness verging on reverence. While that may be wholly justified, it's refreshing to have a good laugh (at ourselves) every now and then." - Library Journal; "In often hilarious fashion, Lovegren chronicles hundreds of wacky fads as the nation's cooks moved from frozen fishsticks and fat-free brownies to Szechwan shrimp alfredo." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch"
