Sarah Wassberg Johnson

Historian, author, podcaster, speaker on all things food history, I was featured on all three seasons of The History Channel's "The Food That Built America." I'm the go-to person for journalists looking for context and I'm a favorite among program librarians across the country. Food history is the gateway history, and my expertise in American food history, especially in the 20th century, has engaged and delighted audience on topics as diverse as American cheese, cookbooks, WWII victory gardens, Christmas cookies, apples, World War I propaganda posters, the history of vitamins and nutrition science, home economics, and more.
