Books by Betty Fussell

Ever since American soldiers returned home after World War II with a passion for pate and escargots instead of pork and beans, our preferences have moved from cooked to raw, from canned to fresh, from bland to savory, from water to wine. This title includes more than two hundred recipes with chapters on appetizers, soups, salads, sauces, and more.

Although My Kitchen Wars is a war story, this time the warrior is a woman and the battleground the kitchen. Betty Fussell gives voice to a generation of women whose stories were shaped and yet simultaneously silenced by an era of domestic strife and global conflict, from World War II to Vietnam.
