SUMMARY:2023 Arizona Author Series: Carolyn Niethammer: "A Desert Feast: Celebrating Tucson's Culinary Heritage."
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCarolyn Niethammer will present a talk about her book A 
 Desert Feast: Celebrating Tucson's Culinary Heritage\, as part of the State 
 of Arizona Research Library’s 2023 Arizona Author Series. The talk is at 
 1 p.m. MST\, Thursday\, May 11th\, and will be held virtually on Zoom. 
 Attendees are encouraged to register to receive the link to the 
 presentation. After the talk\, there will be time for questions from the 
 audience.\n\nTucson cuisine combines the influences and foodways of 
 Indigenous\, Mexican\, mission-era Mediterranean\, and ranch-style cowboy 
 traditions into something wholly unique to the desert. It is no wonder\, 
 then\, that Tucson became American’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy. In 
 A Desert Feast\, Carolyn Niethammer honors this history and shows how waves 
 of immigrants\, travelers\, and settlers have shaped this confluence of 
 flavors and techniques to create food that smells and tastes unlike 
 anything else. In this book\, she interviews farmers\, chefs\, families\, 
 and entrepreneurs who are dedicated to preserving and expanding Tucson 
 cuisine.\n\nYou can read A Desert Feast and many more titles for free on 
 Reading Arizona. \n\nCarolyn Niethammer has been writing about the food and 
 people of the Southwest since she got out of college in books and newspaper 
 and magazine articles. Four of her ten books are cookbooks\, three are 
 books about Native American women\, one is a travel book\, and one is a 
 novel that features a famous cook from Arizona history. Her work has been 
 translated into German\, French\, and Korean. Her latest book\, A Desert 
 Feast: Celebrating Tucson’s Culinary History\, is a look at Southern 
 Arizona’s food history over the last 8\,000 years\, including the arrival 
 and development of agriculture\, and is an answer to why Tucson was named 
 the country’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy.  \n\nThis event is part of 
 the 2023 Arizona Author Series. This program is supported by the Arizona 
 State Library\, Archives & Public Records\, a division of the Secretary of 
 State\, with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library 
 Services.\n\nArizona Center for the Book\, a Library of Congress Center for 
 the Book Affiliate.
