If you enjoyed going back in time with The Shameless Chef while learning home cooking tips that are still relevant today, then you’ll love the insights that A Taste of the Past has to offer. 

A Taste of the Past brings listeners on a journey through the history of food. Host and culinary historian Linda Pelaccio interviews authors, scholars and culinary chroniclers to discuss food culture from ancient Mesopotamia and Rome to the grazing tables and deli counters of today. Each week Linda explores the lively link between food cultures of the present and past.

Episode 361 features an interview with culinary historian and foremost expert on the food and foodways of the African Diaspora, Dr. Jessica B. Harris. She joins Linda to talk about The Legacy Quilt, the centerpiece of a project celebrating Black contributions to American cuisine. It's all part of a major exhibition at the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) entitled, African/American: Making the Nation's Table. Dr. Jessica B Harris also has a series on HRN: My Welcome Table.
