The Masters of Social Gastronomy Present: Garlic Mania at the Institute of Culinary Education
Taught by Sarah Lohman and Jonathan Soma
Sarah Lohman is a culinary historian and the author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed book Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine. She focuses on the history of American food as a way to access stories of women, immigrants, and people of color, and to address issues of racism, sexism, and xenophobia. Her work has been featured inTheWall Street Journal andThe New York Times, as well as onAll Things Considered; and she has presented across the country, from the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, DC to The Culinary Historians of Southern California. She is also 1/2 of the Masters of Social Gastronomy, a monthly food science and history talk at Caveat NYC, with Brainery co-founder Jonathan Soma.
Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He co-founded the Brainery, is the sciencey half of Masters of Social Gastronomy, and plans on getting married to Waffle House. In his more droll moments he is a tragic sellout to higher ed as a professor of data journalism at Columbia University's journalism school.

Join us for a special evening of talks at the Institute of Culinary Education looking at everyone's favorite pungent ingredient: garlic.
Sarah will explore garlic's connection to xenophobia, why it was important that Joe DiMaggio "never reeked of garlic," and when it finally became cool to be a garlic lover.
Meanwhile, have you ever wanted to know what goes on inside those little bulbs? Soma will be detailing the science of garlic, from its oft-touted antimicrobial abilities to how roasting tames those intense flavors.
The night will also feature a special culinary demonstration by Chef James Briscione, Director of Culinary Research at ICE.
