“Libby O’Connell engages us in what feels like an historical scavenger hunt of some of the most common and seemingly mundane foods in American history. The facts and lore will draw you in to the point that you will never look at your food the same way again. The American Plate is a true masterclass in American history through a food lens. A must read!”
