Quotes by Andrew F. Smith (?)

“In the Apollo moon program of the late 1960s, the quality and variety of space food was greatly improved. Hot water was available for rapid reconstitution of freeze-dried foods, and the taste of the foods was much better. The astronauts carried “spoon bowls,” pressurized plastic containers that could be opened with a plastic zipper and the contents eaten with a spoon. Because it had a high moisture content, the food clung to the spoon, making eating seem closer to the earthbound experience.”
― Andrew F. Smith, The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink

“Martha Stewart food lends itself to elaborate, conspicuous consumption and is based upon an invented artisan ethos fully realized only by those who have the luxury to perform the work—whipping cream by hand, for example, or making crackers from scratch.”
― Andrew F. Smith, The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink

“Though many criticize Stewart as an elitist perfectionist with a notorious reputation for demanding and rude treatment of her staff and household help, many home cooks are fiercely loyal, seeing her as transforming their lives for the better.”
― Andrew F. Smith, The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink
