Description

This book tells the stories of three groups and their unique culinary dramas. Italian immigrants transformed the food of their upper classes and of sacred days into a generic “Italian” food. Irish immigrants diminished food as a marker of ethnicity. And East European Jews found that dietary restrictions jarred with America’s boundless choices.
