Back with us by popular request is Chef Larry Canepa, with a new offering titled “Food in History, from 10,000 BCE to the 20th Century.” Chef Larry says this presentation started with an inspiring read, Foods That Changed the Course of History, and a visit to the Washington DC Museum of American History. He promises to share with us a world history of food from prehistoric times to the present. “Food is all about transformation,” he writes, “as is civilization. From our primitive hunter-gatherer days to fast, processed food, food has shaped and transformed civilizations.” For gastronomes and history buffs alike, “Food in History” will be packed with intriguing information, folklore, and fresh insights, including how food has influenced population growth and urban expansion
