The Epic History of Macaroni and Cheese
Join us for a special tasting of an 18th-century macaroni and cheese recipe and a compelling conversation with Karima Moyer-Nocchi as she shares insights from her new book, The Epic History of Macaroni and Cheese: From Ancient Rome to Modern America.
Moyer-Nocchi traces the iconic dish’s extraordinary journey across cultures and centuries, revealing how a simple combination of pasta and cheese became intertwined with questions of race, class, and national identity. For this presentation, she will offer an overview of the dish’s long international history while taking a deeper dive into the 18th century—the culinary world of George Washington’s era and the transatlantic exchanges that shaped it
