Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Cookbooks can tell us a lot about how Americans eat, reflecting trends like gourmet French cooking and all-protein diets. At Harvard’s Schlesinger Library, there are thousands of cookbooks, some dating back hundreds of years. We’ll go inside the Schlesinger and learn more about some of its unique holdings — including the papers of chef Julia Child.
