New York is hailed as one of the world's "food capitals" but the
history of food-making in the city has been mostly lost. Since the
establishment of the first Dutch brewery, the commerce and culture
of food enriched New York and promoted its influence on America and
the world by driving innovations in machinery and transportation
and shaping international trade. Immigrant ingenuity re-created Old
World flavours and spawned familiar brands. Food historian Joy
Santlofer re-creates the texture of everyday life in a growing
metropolis. With an eye-opening focus on bread, sugar, drink and
meat, Food City recovers the fruitful tradition behind today's
local brewers and confectioners, recounting how food shaped a city
and a nation.
