From Hardtack to Home Fries: An Uncommon History of American Cooks and Meals Paperback - 2003
by Barbara Haber
Culinary historian Barbara Haber takes a unique approach to the history of cooking in America, focusing on a remarkable assembly of little-known or forgotten Americans who helped shape the eating habits of the nation. As Curator of Books at Harvard University's Schlesinger Library, Haber has access to more than 16,000 cookbooks from which she has drawn inspiring and often surprising cooking stories from the 1840s to the present
First line
The first object I beheld at the foot of a hill at sunset, when I had gained the road, was an old woman with a sack of potatoes on her back, suspended by a rope across her forehead.
