 delicious journey through American history—one slice at a time! 
 Award‑winning food writer Rossi Anastopoulo explores how iconic pies 
 reveal turning points in our nation’s story\, from colonial kitchens to 
 civil rights counters\, and from mid‑century marketing to modern 
 identity. Expect lively storytelling\, surprising connections\, and recipes 
 you’ll want to try at home.\n\nWhat you’ll taste in the 
 stories:\n\n\n	Apple Pie: how a dessert became a national myth and 
 shorthand for “All‑American.”\n	Molasses Pie: sweetness built on 
 bitter histories of sugar and slavery.\n	Bean Pie: a slice of resistance\, 
 entrepreneurship\, and community identity.\n	Mock Apple Pie: though 
 associated with the Great Depression\, this is actually Civil War ingenuity 
 (yes\, it’s made without apples).\n	Jell‑O Pie: mid‑century 
 convenience and shifting gender roles.\n	Sweet Potato Pie: heritage\, 
 reclamation\, and joy in Black American foodways.\n\n\n…and more!\n\nDoor

 Kit!\n\nTake‑Home Bonus: All attendees will receive recipes for all 11
