“Although it came out in 2006, The United States of Arugula: The Sun Dried, Cold Pressed, Dark Roasted, Extra Virgin Story of the American Food Revolution by David Kamp is an absolute must read for anyone interested in contemporary food culture and food politics. It spans nearly a century and highlights the pivotal figures and movements that brought French cooking to America, goat cheese and mesclun salad to your table, and sushi to your grocery store.”
