Under the Crust
Did you know that Julia Child had an eye job and three face lifts? That's not the only surprise that lurks inside this deceptively small book. Author Laura Shapiro has written a biography that is mostly sympathetic to its subject, but doesn't shrink from showing Child's less attractive qualities. She was opinionated and rarely shrank from saying what was on her mind. She had no patience for ...

Da Capo Press, 2002

Hope for us all
One of the things I'd like to do in my life is write a screenplay. I haven't actually done it yet, and I have no idea what the process is like. But this book was a very interesting read. It has given me a renewed sense of hope. Some of the writers' stories in this book are like fairy tales to the hopeful screenwriters, and some of the stories show the reality to us. Reading these has helped ...

Childswork/Childsplay, 1992

Interactive Stress Book is a PLUS!
Today's children are surrounded by stress. They experience stress in every situation from what they see, hear, and do. This is a major factor in causing both psychological and physical problems and yet we do very little to teach children the very important lessons on how to deal with this stress. This very uniques book combines activities, advice, and checklists to help with this never-ending ...

Laura Shapiro

Henry Holt & Co (P), 1987

Fascinating and scholarly read
Foodies and feminists alike should read this book. As part of the Modern Food Library reprints, chosen by Ruth Reichl (who is known for her good taste and her own laudable literary contributions - "Tender at the Bone" and "Comfort Me with Apples"), "Perfection Salad" describes all the elements present at the turn of the century that combined to forever change the way Americans view food. Food, ...

Something From The Oven: Reinventing Dinner In 1950s America

15 reviews
Laura Shapiro

Thorndike Press, 2004

Fascinating
I savored this book, and didn't want it to end. I thought the subtitle did the book a bit of a disservice: "Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America," making it sound too narrow. It is really more of a social history of the rise and fall of the housewife stereotype, seen through the lens of food, the rise of the food industry, and high and low cooking. As some of the other reviewers have stated, a few ...

My husband and I both read this book and it has been such an incredible help to us. We could relate to so much of what the author writes about. She really knows how to connect with her readers. On a scale of 1 to 10, we give this book an 11.
