Eating Through Time: Food, Health and History

The New York Academy of Medicine celebrates the intersection between food, history, and public health at the Eating Through Time Festival on Saturday, October 17. Using food as our common theme, they will bring together chefs, historians, writers, and public health experts to discuss the past, present, and future of food in society, culture, and policy.

This daylong event will include lectures, panels, demonstrations, workshops, book signings, performances, tastings, food trucks, a pop-up bookstore and marketplace, and historic cookbooks on display in the Academy Library.

Featuring:

Chef Jacques Pépin on food memories, a theme of his upcoming final PBS show Jacques Pépin Heart and Soul and its companion cookbook

Cookbook author Bryant Terry in conversation on food, politics, and the power of culture
