In the postwar era, the food industry changed what we eat, and how women prepared it. Slow-simmered gave way to get-it-on-the table for women moving in the workforce.
In the new book “Something from the Oven,” food historian Laura Shapiro takes us back in time and the kitchen for a look at how the food industry changed women’s roles in the kitchen and beyond.
