An enlightening narrative historyan entertaining fusion of Tom Wolfe and Michael Pollanthat traces the colorful origins of once unconventional foods and the diverse fringe movements, charismatic gurus, and counterculture elements that brought them to the mainstream and created a distinctly American cuisine.Food writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a centuryto the 1960s and 1970sto tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and backtothelanders rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixons America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food.From the mystical rockandroll cult known as the Source Family and its legendary vegetarian restaurant in Hollywood to the Diggers brown bread in the Summer of Love to the rise of the coop and the origins of the organic food craze, Kauffman reveals how todays quotidian wholefoods staplesincluding sprouts, tofu, yogurt, brown rice, and wholegrain breadwere introduced and eventually became part of our diets. From coast to coast, through Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Vermont, Kauffman tracks hippie foods journey from niche oddity to a cuisine that hit every corner of this country.A slick mix of gonzo playfulness, evocative detail, skillful pacing, and elegant writing, Hippie Food is a lively, engaging, and informative read that deepens our understanding of our culture and our lives today.
