Welcome to The Austerity Kitchen!

This is a site dedicated to maverick takes on food and social history. I’ve written about everything from the mutton-eating parrots of New Zealand to New York City’s raucous luncheonettes to George Orwell’s adventures in hop picking. For more of my work, please also see christinebaumgarthuber.com. And make sure to check out my book Fermented Food: The History and Science of a Microbial Wonder,  as well as my forthcoming book Why Fast?: The Pros and Cons of Restrictive Eating.
