American Table is a sweeping history of food and culture that summons everyone to the table for a fresh look at some of the people, ingredients, events, and movements that have shaped how and what we eat. With over 40 iconic and notable recipes, chapters spanning coast to coast and stretching over centuries, this enlightening, enriching, and entertaining collection uncovers the many histories of American food. Paula Johnson, Smithsonian curator and project director of the American Food History Project, will discuss several stories featured in the book, with an emphasis on those that intersect most directly with the Smithsonian’s research, collecting, and programming around food history.
