Key Ingredients

The Georgia Humanities Council and the University of West Georgia canvassed the state to complete more than 75 oral history interviews on the state's food traditions as part of their 2008-2010 tour of Key Ingredients. We'll be featuring programs based on those interviews here on the MoMS website. We greatly appreciate Dr. Ann McCleary and Katie Hicks from the University of West Georgia for conducting the interviews and preparing these recordings and Arden Williams with Georgia Humanities Council for allowing MoMS to feature this series.
