Description
The story of how American cuisine was transformed by a counterculture movement is a fascinating one. In the 1960s and 1970s, a group of unconventional individuals rejected mainstream American food and instead turned to a more idealistic and wholesome way of life. This movement, which included hippies, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers, had a profound impact on the way Americans eat today. From the mystical rock-and-roll cult known as the Source Family to the Diggers' brown bread in the Summer of Love, Jonathan Kauffman explores the origins of once-unconventional foods and the diverse fringe movements that brought them to the mainstream. Through impeccable research and engaging storytelling, Kauffman reveals how staples like sprouts, tofu, yogurt, brown rice, and whole-grain bread became part of our diets.
