Contents:

Introduction: taste and the American cookbook -- Taste and virtue: domestic citizenship and the new republic -- Taste and morality: motherhood and the making of a national body -- Taste and region: the constitutive function of Southern cookbooks -- Taste and science: cooking schools, home economics, and the progressive impulse -- Taste and race: revisions of labor and domestic literacy in the early Twentieth century -- Epilogue: the relevance of taste.

Scope and content: "In Tasteful Domesticity, Sarah Walden demonstrates how women used the cookbook as a rhetorical space. Taste discourse engages cultural values as well a physical constraints, and thus serves as a bridge across the contested space of the self and the body, particularly for women in the nineteenth century. Cook-books represent important contact zones of social philosophies, cultural beliefs, and rhetorical traditions, and through their rhetoric, we witness women's varied roles."--Cover
