Ep 494 Ken Albala, Food Historian

Sunday March 17th


Our guest this week is author, historian, and professor Ken
Albala.


Ken Albala is Professor of History at the
University of the Pacific United States, received his Masters of
Arts degree in history from Yale, and his PhD in history from
Columbia University.  Ken has been the author or editor for
over 25 books on both food and the intersections of food and
history.  His course Food: A Cultural Culinary
History is available from the Great Courses and the Great
Courses Plus.  While Dr. Ken's most recent books, At
the Table: Food and Family Around the World  and Noodle
Soup: Recipes, Techniques, Obsession are available everywhere, my
personal favorites are all his books that do deep dives into
history such as Beans: A History, Nuts: A Global History, and
Pancake: A global history.
