Simple Cooking: "...whatever else there is to say about Betty Fussell, she gets under your skin. She also establishes a personal connection with her subject that sets her notably apart from other popular culinary historians....Fussell casts her net wide, writing about mythology, history, agronomy, anthropology, genetics, and Native and subsequent American folkways and foodways, and the chapters contrasting Native American corn cultures with our own produce ironic, disturbing refractions of two edgily coexisting myths....'The Book of Corn' is really a kind of modern gothic romance, packed with plenty of facts to lend it verisimilitude, but using romantic passion as the hook that keeps the reader plowing through its pages." |
