    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Six Women Who Shaped What Americans Eat tells the stories of six women whose lives and careers influenced American food culture: Hazel Stiebeling, Poppy Cannon, Julia Child, Frances Moore LappÉ, Marion Nestle, and Alice Waters. Each of these women had a substantial impact on American cuisine, attitudes toward food, and what people chose to eat. They highlighted the politics of food, the pleasure of food, the connection between food and health, and the environmental harm of poor food choices.
