Peanuts : the illustrious history of the goober pea
A culinary history of the protein-laden legume, this work follows the peanut 's rise from a lowly, messy snack food to its place in haute cuisine and on supermarket shelves. It highlights the peanut's role in the ways economic distress, wartime conditions, industrialization, and health trends reflect and inform our culinary landscape.
