Informationen zum Autor Susan Williams likes to imagine, and just like Dora, she's always thinking of things that would be incredibly cool...if only they were possible. Williams has been wanting to write a children's book as long as she can remember, and No More Scaredy Cats is the result of that dream. Williams lives with her partner of 11 years in Edmonton, Alberta. Their beloved dog Pepsi passed away at the age of 16. Klappentext The period from the 1820s to 1890 was one of invention, new trends, and growth in the American food culture. Inventions included the potato chip and Coca-Cola. Patents were taken out for the tin can, canning jars, and condensed milk. Vegetarianism was promulgated. Factories and mills such as Pillsbury came into being, as did Quaker Oats and other icons of American food. This volume describes the beginnings of many familiar mainstays of our daily life and consumer culture. It chronicles the shift from farming to agribusiness. Cookbooks proliferated and readers will trace the modernization of cooking, from the hearth to the stove, and the availability of refrigeration. Regional foodways are covered, as are how various classes ate at home or away. A final chapter covers the diet fads, which were similar to those being touted today.
