Key Ingredients: America by Food tours Arizona from October 2010 through August 2011, and provides an entertaining and informative overview of our country’s diverse cooking and eating traditions. Key Ingredients investigates how landscape, culture, ethnicity, and tradition influence the foods and flavors we enjoy across the nation.
The Arizona Humanities Council (AHC) has selected six rural organizations to host Key Ingredients for six weeks each, and to develop local exhibits, programs, and special events that tell their unique food stories as they relate to the Smithsonian exhibition.
The Arizona tour of Key Ingredients kicks off at this year’s Tucson Meet Yourself, Arizona’s premier folklife festival. Preview the southern Arizona host sites in the Key Ingredients Pavilion, which also features humanities presentations, cooking demonstrations, and an Iron Chef Contest in the Kitchen Stadium.
AHC also brings three speakers from their Road Scholars roster to Tucson Meet Yourself. They will give presentations created especially for the Arizona tour of Key Ingredients. See the Food Program Schedule for details.
