From the acclaimed author of What She Ate, the story of five couples whose partnerships, unsung triumphs, and experimentation, fueled the American food revolution.

In Big Appetites, food journalist and historian Laura Shapiro introduces readers to five particular and unsung couples whose contributions underpin elements of food culture today. These couples revitalized kitchens across the United States and the United Kingdom and brought us movements that pushed us toward farm-to-table, organic produce, and sustainable agriculture. With a great sense of character, an eye for delicious and surprising details, and deep roots in cultural history, this short, memorable book will change the way you look at your plate.
