- Summary
- "Simple, healthy, and comforting, breakfast cereals are a perennially popular way to start the day. This book examines cereal's long, distinguished, and surprising history--dating back to when, around 10,000 years ago, the agricultural revolution led people to break their fasts with wheat, rice, and corn porridges. Only in the second half of the nineteenth century did entrepreneurs and food reformers create the breakfast cereals we recognize today: Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Cheerios, and Quaker Oats, among others. In this entertaining, well-illustrated account, Kathryn Cornell Dolan explores the history of breakfast cereals, including many historical and modern recipes that the reader can try at home."--Amazon.com viewed Aug. 14, 2023.
