The Well-Seasoned Librarian: Mixing Cookbooks and Conversation Dean Jones

Bio

Sarah Morgan isn't your average historian. Sure, she has a Bachelors' in History and years of experience as a museum guide and archivist. 

Sarah has a monthly segment on the Calutron Girls at WATE News Channel 6 in Knoxville, TN keeps her connected to local audiences, and her work with the American Museum of Science and Energy in Oak Ridge delves into the fascinating history of science and technology.

 But her true passion lies in uncovering the fascinating stories of the First Ladies – and their favorite recipes!This passion extends beyond dusty archives and into the kitchen. In 2019, a chance thrift store find – "The First Ladies Cook Book" – sparked a delicious journey. Sarah launched her Instagram project, "@CookingwiththeFirstLadies," with the ambitious goal of cooking her way through every presidential administration.

She now creates engaging content for the National First Ladies' Library, including videos packed with fun food facts, cooking tutorials, and historical recipes. Her signature program, "Cooking with the First Ladies," is a unique crash course in American history. Participants get a taste of a First Lady's life – her biography, accomplishments, and the cultural context of her era – all while learning to recreate one of her favorite dishes.

Sarah's passion for history extends beyond the White House, too. She also explores lesser-known stories, like the crucial role of women in the fight for suffrage. Her program, "Cooking with the Suffragettes," delves into the history of the 19th Amendment, highlighting the contributions of women like Abigail Adams and Anita Pollitzer. While there's no live cooking here, participants get recipe booklets featuring historically significant dishes from the suffrage movement (Lady Baltimore Cake, anyone?)

Bio: I am a curator and public historian. My work investigates how Americans have used material and visual culture to understand race, ethnicity, and gender, especially in the realm of food and drink. My first book, Insatiable City: Food and Race in New Orleans, was published by the University of Chicago Press in May 2024.

As Curator of Mars, Incorporated, I document the history of one of the world’s largest chocolate, confectionery, food, and pet care companies. Previously, I worked as Curator of the American Brewing History Initiative at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (NMAH). There, I recorded oral histories with dozens of members of the American brewing industry (transcripts may be accessed at the NMAH Archives Center); collected objects, documents, and photographs related to the growth of homebrewing and craft beer in the U.S., including the business records and artifacts belonging to San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing Company, days before before its liquidation; and exhibited the history of beer for the 2,000,000+ visitors who come to the American History Museum each year. Before joining the Smithsonian, I worked as Arcadia Fellow at the Colonial North American at Harvard Library Project (now, Worlds of Change); Food Literacy Project Coordinator at Harvard University Dining Services; and European media analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency.

I earned a PhD in American Studies and an MA in History from Harvard University and a BA in Romance Languages from Harvard College. I also earned a Culinary Arts Diploma from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts and have cooked in sweet and savory restaurant kitchens in Cambridge, MA, and Washington, DC. My writing has been awarded by the James Beard Foundation and the North American Guild of Beer Writers. I am honored to have been named a 2023 “Signifier” by Good Beer Hunting, awarded to “people shaping the future of the [beer] industry,” and one of the 2020 “Imbibe 75” by Imbibe magazine, awarded to the “people, places, and directions that will shape the way you drink in 2020.”

Bio: "Hi! I’m Yasmin. Here’s a bit about me. Well, a lot about me. A few years ago, I fell in love with the Spanish island of Menorca and have since upended my life as I’ve sold or donated most of my belongings, save for my cookbooks/books and beloved kitchen items, so I can spend at least half the year in Menorca. You’ll find more updates of this particular life period in my newsletter. Food was a happy part of my childhood, likely because my parents were adamant about us gathering around the table for every meal, no matter what crazy schedules we had, and some my favorite memories are around the dinner table. At Cornell University, I planned on being a doctor and even worked at Cedars-Sinai in LA for a year, but I knew deep down that it wasn’t the path for me (we always know, don’t we?).After making list after list trying to figure out what to do with my life, food and travel kept popping up. So at 23, I moved to NYC to work at a small publishing house and found the Food Studies Master’s program at NYU, which felt like a dream come true—we learned about food through the lens of culture, history, politics and so much more, even writing our own food tours in NYC neighborhoods. My final project was a cookbook proposal titled, Dinner with Friends.I then had the very fun job of working on the 2010 Food & Wine cocktail book and freelancing at the magazine. From there, I ran the cooking section of a website as a food editor for two years, when I decided I had had enough of working at a desk and wanted to travel the world. In a fortuitous happening, I became an undercover luxury hotel, restaurant and spa inspector for Forbes Travel Guide for four years, complete with a fake name and credit card (Isabella Harper, if you’re curious). She was great. I lived in NYC, LA and London during that time, traveling around the world, from Shanghai to Rio, all over North America, Europe and more, which is when I also learned the joys of traveling alone. During that time, I wrote a weekly recipe column for Serious Eats that, in another twist, became the basis for my first cookbook, Keeping it Simple. The book ended up being much loved (which warmed my heart!), and it’s both exciting and surreal what’s happened with my career since. Here’s a brief summary: I’m currently a regular contributor to NYT Cooking and was also nominated for a Webby Award for my video work with The Kitchn. My recipes and writing have appeared online and in print publications such as The Washington Post, Food52, The Kitchn, Guardian Feast, Today Show Food, Epicurious and others. I’ve written two more books, and the third Cook Simply, Live Fully is out now!"

Bio: Beyond being a captivating author, Douglas is a seasoned travel writer who has explored diverse corners of the globe. He's also a husband, a father, and a Los Angeles resident with a fascinating background. He holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of San Francisco and even spent time in Buenos Aires.
