My recent project, Soda Shop Salvation: Recipes and Stories from the Sweeter Side of Prohibition, written by Rae Katherine Eighmey and published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press, has been named a finalist for the Minnesota Book Awards. The book is part cookbook part history of the soda-fountain era, which flourished during Prohibition and was responsible for concoctions such as the Flapper Frappe and the Tasty Toasty. Of course, recipes are included. The book has been a wonderful companion to the show currently at the Minnesota Historical Society, called “American Spirits: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.”
