A blending of architectural and social history with the necessity and passion food. Explores the development of the American house by viewing it through the food axis. Traces changes in food spaces through the years, noting a steady escalation in the number of food-related rooms, and considers the multiple circumstances that shed light on this evolution, including the role of gender in determining food-space design, the relation of food spaces to nature, and the telling ways in which people and food circulate through kitchens and dining rooms.
