Food is America's favorite pastime.
NPR Cultural Programming is pleased to present Seasonings , an encore series of one-hour specials with host Vertamae Grosvenor. She is also a culinary anthropologist, with a sense of food, people, traditions, and history unmatched by anyone currently heard on radio. A warm and talented storyteller, Grosvenor serves up the lore and rituals of diverse American holidays, and the role of food on our festivities, at our homes, and in our lives. Seasonings ' audio mix is rich in documentary and location sound, and offers features from around the country supplied by contributing producers, including guest commentators like Calvin Trillin, and much more. Seasonings takes a look at the connections between food and culture through the preponderance of food themes abundant in folklore, myth, poetry, and short stories.
