Reviews

"Told in a breezy, conversational style, the book walks readers through the often surprisingly far-ranging history of folklore of favorite foods from pizza to peanut butter. A good choice for any young gourmand's bookshelf" -Kirkus Reviews

"Delightfully described and illustrated with amusing cartoon characters, this account of familiar foods engagingly combines history with the immigration story...Add this selection to home, school, and office; for both young and old to savor as it holds a treasure of pleasure." - San Francisco Book Review

"An excellent and fun read for any kid or adult foodie." -School Library Journal

"Accessible and engaging... A high-interest, tasty treat." - Booklist

“This title would be a great addition to classes studying food and nutrition. Some parts can even be used in chemistry class. It would also be a great supplement when discussing how an idea or invention is created and then morphs over time, especially when the impact of a changing culture is considered.” — School Library Connection
