Eating the Past
Sundays from 12:01-12:06 p.m.
Eating the Past explores food and beverages in history along with our relationship to food today. The show ties in with a video series of the same name that features faculty and staff chefs who cook recipes from USU's historic cookbook collection. We will bring recipes, personal stories, interviews, and fun to the discussion of what we eat. The show will air every Sunday at noon before the Splendid Table.
This project has received funding from Utah Humanities.
