Lavishly illustrated with drawings, photographs, and ephemera from Historic New England's collections, among others, this work describes what it was like to live and work in kitchens that had none of the conveniences we now take for granted.
Kitchens featured are from house museums, detached kitchens on southern plantations, Spanish colonial kitchens of the Southwest, elaborate nineteenth-century kitchens in the Midwest, and middle-class open-plan homes of 1950s suburbia.

Book Reviews
“BUY THIS BOOK. On a 1 to 10 scale, this book is an 11. Of the hundreds of books I have listed and reviewed here on FoodReference.com since I began in 1999, this is among the BEST. Kudos to the authors, the book designers and Historic New England for producing a truly wonderful book.”
-- FoodReference.com, December 2008
“…’America’s Kitchens’ makes use of case histories and interviews to animate it its text. Equally compelling are the numerous old photos, posters and advertising art that bolster the narrative…A rare hybrid…is equal parts scholarly research and coffee table book – in short, serious fun.”
