*About the Presentation by Darcy Maulsby*
What comes to mind when you think of Iowa food? Everyone has an Iowa food story, and author Darcy Maulsby will bring those stories to life during her fun, interactive talk! She’ll serve up fascinating tidbits related to more than 150 years of Iowa cuisine, from all corners of the state. Discover how Iowa’s delectable cuisine is quintessentially Midwestern, grounded in its rich farming heritage and spiced with diverse ethnic influences, as reflected in kolaches (a Czech and Slovak favorite) and other treats.
Darcy Maulsby is an author, marketing professional, photographer, speaker, farmer, and foodie based in central Iowa.
The Museum Store will be open during this event! Find unique gifts for friends and family, or treat yourself to a little something while you’re here.
