Edible Alphabet

Ever wonder where your favorite food or drink came from - how it got onto your plate and into your glass? Welcome to the Edible Alphabet, here to take you through the history of food, one letter at a time. Each episode, we’ll serve up the story of one food or beverage item in bite-sized portions. From ale to ice cream, no topic is too big or too small, but they’re all delicious.

Ashley Kosiak is the Program Coordinator at the James Beard Foundation in New York City. She has a Masters in Food Studies from New York University, with an emphasis in Food and Culture. Her focus is on food in Science Fiction, and history.
