What’s the backstory to the ingredients and dishes that find their way to your Thanksgiving table? This holiday season, you’re invited to join us in the kitchen for a heaping helping of history because food can be a portal to the past. Cook along with us as we use old recipes from historic cookbooks. We’ll travel back in time and feel a connection to the people of the past and the worlds in which they lived.

Host: Andrew J. Falk
