Wonderful book! May 19, 2007
By Mrs. Pie Guy
This is a wonderful book and just the right size. It's visually gorgeous with rich colors and quality printing. It's well-written, including many quotes and images from vintage books and advertisements. The actual pantry photos are lovely and I particularly liked the way the book was organized beginning with early American, farmhouse and Victorian pantries all the way through modern versions. This is the perfect gift for anyone interested in vintage kitchens or domestic history. [...]. You won't be disappointed!

Motivation to help my pantry! May 03, 2007
By Dale A. Tompkins
"PhD"
This beautiful book is complete coverage on pantrys! It brings understanding to the role this little room has played in our historical homes and points the way for us to incorporate the basic ideas into the homes we live in today! Organization can be beautiful and it beats chaos everytime! Seldom do I find a book about homes and interiors that has depth of information, clear writing, and beautiful pictures...it is history, poetry, and beauty! Christmas stocking stuffers for my daughters! Mrs.S.M.Tompkins

Informed and informative reading Jul 08, 2007
By Midwest Book Review
"The Pantry: Its History And Modern Uses" by author, architectural historian, and former house museum manager Catherine Seiberling Pond is a beautifully illustrated history of how the nature of the 19th century pantry began to change and evolve in the 20th and 21st centuries as American homemakers began to cook more, bake more, buy more, and stockpile more just as architects were designing and building homes that did not have pantries. The result was that 'big-box' items that once would have been stored in a pantry were now regulated to the garage. "The Pantry" offers cogent and persuasive arguments why the pantry should be restored to the contemporary American home as both a functional and an esthetic design element in keeping with the socio-economic and design changes that have affected and shaped the American home which ranges in style from Victorian to 20th Century, and from the great estate to the modern dwelling. While the use of the pantry has evolved, it continues to be an interesting, utilitarian space the combines nostalgia with cutting edge modern ideas for the family kitchen. "The Pantry" also covers what to put in one, food storage solutions, the selections of materials, design and layout, display, decor tips, and more. Of special note is the chapter dedicated to 'Pantries Open to the Public'. Informed and informative reading, "The Pantry" is particularly recommended to the attention of architects, home remodelers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the developmental history of the American home.

What a beautiful book! Aug 27, 2007
By Jo
I can't add anything that hasn't been written below, but I wanted to leave a positive review for the author's sake. I love all things domestic and the more vintage the better. I love the picture on the back cover of this book-ah...my dream kitchen. If I could have a hoosier cabinet like this one someday, I would die happy, lol.

 The Pantry review Aug 26, 2007
By S. Eury
A great book, but needs more pixs of bungalow pantries where small windows and refrigerators were contained...there are plenty of these right where I live in North Carolina
