A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression   Hardcover   – August 16, 2016 James Beard Foundation Book Award Winner From the author of the acclaimed  97 Orchard  and her husband, a culinary historian, an in-depth exploration of the greatest food crisis the nation has ever faced—the Great Depression—and how it transformed America’s culinary culture.
