  War can tell us a lot about the different ways Northerners and Southerner
 s experienced the war. 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
