Explore how the temperance movement came about and just how drunk America was in the 1820s. Then, examine how America descended into the alarmist propaganda that brought about Prohibition. Finally, take a look at how the modern temperance movement has led to the rapid spread of dry January. Tasty temperance drink recipes included! Led by Sarah Lohman, a culinary historian and the author of the bestselling book Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine. Lohman focuses on the history of food as a way to access the stories of diverse Americans. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and NPR. Lohman has presented across the country, from the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, DC to The Culinary Historians of Southern California. Her current project, Endangered Eating: Exploring America’s Vanishing Cuisine, will be published in 2023. Learn more about Lohman HERE.
