Location: Cedarcroft
Host: Neal Naff
Food has long carried political meaning, and its significance in revolutionary America is no exception. Join art and culinary historian Nancy Siegel to uncover a richly layered story in which meals, ingredients, and even kitchenware helped Americans define what democracy should look—and taste—like. From tea boycotts and homemade Liberty Tea to Washington Pie and Election Cake, ordinary foods became vehicles for protest, persuasion, and celebration in the years surrounding the Revolution and the Early Republic. The setting is the original 1846 Cedarcroft farmhouse, and the program, which includes revolutionary food tasting, is based on Nancy’s forthcoming book, “Political Appetites: The Power of Food in Revolutionary America” and the documentary “Feeding the American Revolution.”
