About this audiobook
Multiple award-winning author Adam Gopnik has written for the New Yorker since 1986. In this work, Gopnik charts America's transformation from being simply aware of what they eat to being obsessive about it. This fascinating culinary journey will transport listeners from 18th-century France and the origin of America's popular modern tastes to the kitchens of the White House and beyond.
