The kitchen-at times a harried work space and at others the sentimental heart of the home-has alway played an important role in our lives. This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of America's kitchens from New England hearths to Spanish colonial kitchens, from detached kitchens on plantations in the South to open plans of the 1950s suburbs, up to todays varied styles. America's Kitchens provides new insights into the technological and social changes that have taken pace in this room and suggests why, for so many of us, the room still symbolizes warmth and comfort.
