"Shapiro recounts the story of scientific cooking with a deft humor
some might find unbecoming to a work of impeccable scholarship. Yet
how else are we to think about a movement that upheld mayonnaise,
cream sauce, and the extended boiling of vegetables as cures for
every social ill, from drunkenness and degeneracy to feminism and
labor unrest?.... My only disappointment with "Perfection Salad" is
that it ends too soon." --Barbara Ehrenreich, "New York Times Book
Review"
"A comprehensive, droll social history of a curious women's
movement that's responsible for everything from nutritional
education programs to TV dinners."--Maureen Corrigan, "Village
Voice"
