Candy Cigarettes and Razor Blade Apples: Tales of Candy by Masters of Social Gastronomy

Masters of Social Gastronomy is dedicating October to that sweetest of holidays – Halloween!

Sarah will take you on a journey through a brief world history of candy, from the first processed confections from the Middle East, to the magical candy medicines of medieval Europe. Then, she’ll sort out the origins of Halloween, along with modern myths like the “razor blade in the apple.”

Soma will fill you in on the modern world of candy, from the trashy realm of candy cigarettes to the high-class elegance of Japanese wagashi. We’ll go on a journey exploring how popular treats are made, and how you can terrify Park Slope parents on the 31st with your own homemade, handcrafted creations.

Doors: 6:30pm / Show: 7:00pm

21+

Please note this is a mixed seated and standing venue. Please arrive early for the best seats.

Dubbed a “historic gastronomist,” Sarah Lohman recreates historic recipes as a way to make a personal connection with the past. She chronicles her explorations in culinary history on her blog, Four Pounds Flour, and her work has been featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. She appears on the Cooking Channel’s Food: Fact or Fiction? and is 1/2 of the Masters of Social Gastronomy with co-founder Jonathan Soma.

Currently, she works with museums and galleries around the city to create public programs focused on food, including institutions such as The American Museum of Natural History, The Museum of Science, Boston, and The Lower East Side Tenement Museum. Her first book, Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine, was published with Simon & Schuster in 2016.

Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He cooks for fun, codes for hire, and has more hobbies than can dance on the head of a pin. His work has been featured everywhere from Gawker to The New York Times.
