If you are obsessed with mid-century kitchens, looking for design ideas, or interested in kitchen history, check out the book America’s Kitchens by Nancy Carlisle and Melinda Talbot Nasardinov with Jennifer Pustz, and its companion traveling exhibition, which place 20th-century cooking, eating, and entertaining within a historical context. The traveling exhibition is currently on view at the New Hampshire Historical Society until January 27, 2010. Future venues include the Long Island Museum of American Art, History, and Carriages and Heritage Museum & Gardens. For more information, see AmericasKitchens.org.
