Thank you for joining Perrot Memorial Library and The Foodshed Forum for our first Historical Foodways: Seed, Hearth & Taste book talk, The General's Cook. A special thank you to Ramin Ganeshram for sharing her extensive knowledge and insight. We were inspired by her presentation as it offered historical context to our modern industrial food system. Through her story telling, Ramin dispelled false narratives around cultural foodways and subsequently expanded the collective imagination of what is possible. She reminded us how taste and flavor, procurement and preparation of food, provide us with a “sense of place.” How important it is to honor our foodshed & watershed and connection to cultural foodways. Most critically, we must continue to preserve our collective stories and pass them along through generations.

Historical Foodways: Seed, Hearth & Taste is a three-part series of book discussions featuring stories of heirloom seeds, hearth cooking and how taste connects us to land and culture. A facilitated discussion will follow each presentation exploring how historical foodways inform our present and future food system. We hope you will join us for these thoughtful conversations with culinary historians, food writers, seed savers, cooks and thought leaders who are dedicated to sharing the ways in which food brings meaning, value and connection to our lives. 
 
Historical Foodways: Seed, Hearth & Taste is co-curated by Kathy McCormack, Perrot Memorial Library board president, and Ali Ghiorse, co-founder of The Foodshed Forum.
