Smithsonian - Food at the National Museum of American History

Dr. Scoff and the Prof: Food, History and Mirth

There are some exciting things happening around Food History in the United States right now. To find out about some of these, the team chat to Dr Ashley Rose Young, a food history guru who works with a team of curators and historians as part of the American Food History Project at the National Museum of American History (part of the Smithsonian). Plus Dr Scoff cooks up a delightful twist on Chef Ed Lee’s Korean donuts. A few points to clarify just in case: Ashley is not the head of the American Food History Project. That would be curator Paula Johnson. Ashley has written a dissertation on New Orleans cuisine and is currently working on the book manuscript project. So, the book isn’t finished yet.
