While only glimpses of the war appear in northern c ookbooks\, southern recipes reflected the war at every step. The war utter ly transformed eating and cooking in the South\, as the population searche d with growing desperation for ways to approximate favorite foods with sub stitute ingredients and to ward off hunger. In fact\, nostalgia for antebe llum food was so strong that it helped to create something we still call " southern cuisine" - even though\, surprisingly\, the foods northerners wer e eating at the time were not very different. \nHelen Zoe Veit is associat e professor of history at Michigan State University\, focusing on the hist ory of food. Her first book\, Modern Food\, Moral Food: Self-Control\, Sc ience\, and the Rise of Modern American Eating in the Early Twentieth Cent ury explored food and nutrition in the Progressive Era. On January 12\, 2 017\, she presents "The Hidden World of Food in the Civil War\," followed by a book-signing for two other published works Food in the Civil War Era: The North\, and Food in the Civil War Era: The South. Veit is director o f the What America Ate project\, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities\, a three-year initiative started in 2014 to create a digital a rchive and interactive website on food during the Great Depression.\n\n\nL ocation: Lyceum\nFees: $10 per person\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Lyceum\, Museums\, Old & Historic Alexandria\n\nImport this event into you r calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=15275\ n\nWeb resources:\n\nhttps://shop.alexandriava.gov\n DTEND:20170113T020000Z DTSTAMP:20170112T200639Z DTSTART:20170113T003000Z LOCATION:Lyceum SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Civil War Food History Lecture TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:325a544f-3798-427d-ab54-831aa08a1029 URL:https://shop.alexandriava.gov X-COA-DTSTAMP:20170112T200639Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
