A Tour of Iowa's Culinary Landscape with Author and Food Historian Darcy Maulsby

Join us for a deep dive into Iowa’s culinary culture with food historian, author, and Iowa storyteller Darcy Maulsby. We go beyond corn and pork tenderloins to explore everything from indigenous farming traditions to how the chop suey craze swept Des Moines in the early 20th Century.

As an Iowa Storyteller, Darcy believes anyone who eats has a connection to the things she’s passionate about, including food, farming, and history. Darcy writes about the food-to-fork connection for clients through her non-fiction books, including “A Culinary History of Iowa”, “Classic Restaurants of Des Moines and Their Recipes,” and "Iowa Agriculture: A History of Farming, Family and Food."
