Fashionably Ate

Yes, friends, it's true: the time has come for us to leave you. We've spent the last three years in a tumult of food highs (wartime cake!), fashion lows (remember that time I tried to describe how to tie an ascot?), and vice versa (remember that time Steph made a totally gorgeous outfit from a thrifted suit? Legendary.). Now, for our final bow, we're taking a trip back to our first failure, our worst failure, our gloopiest, ickiest, saddest failure: vegetarian jello. For what better way to say goodbye to you, our lovely listeners, than to make good on a three-year-old promise to try agar agar again? This month, we brave our fears and face our old foe, while talking '60s jello and the space-age fashion of the future. We said it all in the episode, but it bears repeating: thank you so much for listening. We've loved making this show. We hope hearing us fumble our way through food and fashion has made you as happy as it has made us. Feel free to find us outside of podcast-land! You can find Steph on Instagram @elle.steph, and Torey on Instagram @torelk.

We're going off-script this month and treating ourselves to a whole episode about our current obsessions. No rhyme, no reason, no era - just really cool history. Torey's facing her fears and diving into an obsession with lace knitting (and/or knitted lace, depending on who you're talking to). Meanwhile, Steph is all in on hazelnuts, and we both make some fabulous nutty dishes. Thanks for listening!

We've talked home canning before, and we've talked rationing and refashioning in WWII before -- now we're bringing it all together to talk about canned goods and factory fashion in 1940s Canada. As we did the last time we talked about this period, we're switching up our roles -- Steph's taking fashion this month, looking at women's factory uniforms, and Torey's taking food, talking about industrial canning and how it changed the food landscape.  What we're obsessed with in history Torey: Reading old archived newsletters and basking in the knowledge that the effort she's spent to preserve minutiae may not have been wasted Steph: Resistance Women by Jennifer Chiaverini - a tough and relevant read.

We're heading eastward this month, friends, talking cableknit sweaters and codfish dinners. As the non-vegetarian of the pair, Steph took on the cooking this month, coming out of a coddy ordeal with some very edible and nostalgic codballs. Torey may not cook, but she sure does knit, and she is HAPPY to talk about cables for as long as anyone will let her.

We're back! And I swear there's a method to our non-sequitur topics this month. We're starting off with eyebrows, those face-defining fuzzy bits, and talking about how eyebrows changed through mid-century Canada. Taking our cue from the era, Steph sorted through miles of old Chatelaine magazine issues to find out a) who's wearing those eyebrows and b) what they're eating. The answer to the former is very glamorous and the answer to the second is really not.

We're taking a hike this month and heading north. Torey's talking fashion on the trails to the gold rush, and Steph's talking about the science of sourdough. We both try our hand at an honest-to-goodness sourdough starter, with...surprising success, actually. Your browser does not support the audio element. Thanks for listening!

This month we're going further back than this podcast has gone before: decades before Mrs Beeton, there was Catharine Parr Traill, a woman whose letters we study and whose symbolism we have a hard time coming to grips with. To everyone's surprise, our fashion segment this month actually covers fashion: we're looking at the late Regency period and the relatively loose dresses that came with it. In another podcast first, we're also taking a stab at some meaty dishes. Both Torey and Steph fry up some venison steaks, and we talk about the history and ethics of game meat in Canada. Less controversially, we also serve up some cranberry sauce and tarts, to mixed reviews. What we're obsessed with in history Steph: An old favourite: Lucy Worsely, an English historian and author, and two of her books: Jane Austen at Home: A Biography and Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days that Changed Her Life. Get in that library queue, these books are going fast. Torey: A new novel with fun nods to female scientists in history: The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee (the sequel/companion to The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, also a fun read).

Marmalade on toast -- hot or cold? This month, we get into the fascinating world of marginalia in cookbooks - the practice of adding and editing recipes in your cookbooks and recipe cards, and clipping recipes from newspapers, magazines, and sharing recipes in a collection. We also brew up some sunshine, in the form of tangy, bittersweet marmalade! Steph discovers some charming notes in Mackenzie King's diaries about marmalade and his affirmations as a young person ("Make this a good month"), while Torey looks at the complicated history of scribbled notes in the margins of recipe books everywhere. What we're obsessed with in history Steph: Rediscovering the Nancy Drew video games of her youth. (For the article Torey mentioned in response: The Case of the Disappearing Nancy Drew Video Games) Torey: Her great-aunt Mary's recipe book, chock-full of marginalia.

This month we dove headfirst into the wonderful world of short hair, which we both love dearly, and the slightly-more-difficult-to-stomach world of invalid cooking, which only a historian could love. Both of us have long relationships with our short hair, so we explore what rocking a pixie meant in mid-19th century Canada and how that evolved. Short hair as a choice you make yourself can be powerful, as we both know, but it can also be done to you, as the result of trauma or a loss of agency. Illness is one of those traumas, and one with a deep culinary history, so we try out some of Mrs Beeton's recipes for invalid cooking. Turns out: drinking an egg is almost always going to be disgusting. What we're obsessed with in history Steph: All the fascinating research for a historical murder mystery program coming up at the Nanaimo Museum March-August 2019, as well as recent ceremonies honouring Louis Levi Oakes, the last living WWII Mohawk code talker. Torey: The Christmas by Lamplight program at Black Creek Pioneer Village, and also a source that turned out to only be tangentially related to this month's topic but was too good not to talk about: Dressing and Addressing the Mental Patient: The Uses of Clothing in the Admission, Care and Employment of Residents in English Provincial Mental Hospitals, c. 1860-1960 by Nicole Baur and Joseph Melling, in Textile History.

One of the many names for a cobbler: Apple John This month we're diving deep into the history of a little Ontario town built by one of the biggest shoe companies in the world. We're also fully committing to the pun game in our food segment, making—you guessed it—cobbler. Many thanks to Erin Baxter and the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto for their willingness to chat with us and for providing such a valuable resource. What we're obsessed with in history Steph: An upcoming exhibit at the Beatty Museum, and specifically an in-development, augmented reality experience that will help put collection pieces into virtual context. Much inspiration for her own work! Torey: A 2016 event at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London that featured one of my favourite podcasts.

"A stylish mourning wrap" from the Ladies' Home Journal, February 1892 Torey takes the reins this month, getting into why hair brooches were a cool thing, the importance of "reading" a mourner's clothing at the turn of the century, and how all of that changed in The Great War. She also attempted a deep dive into defining "comfort food," had some inconclusive lasagne adventures, and took a detour to the Oka Crisis as a result.

Season 3 of Fashionably Ate is here! We've been doing this podcast for two years now, and still loving it. Thanks for listening! In this episode, we talk about death, grief, and dressing the deceased, mostly in the fashion section. If this isn't your thing, you can skip right to the food at around 21 minutes in. Torey talks about the history of burial shrouds, winding sheets, and dressing the dead in their best/favourite clothes as the funerary industry has changed. Steph struggled to find details of diverse food practices at funerals, but thanks to listeners she managed to talk about a few. Party sandwiches and rugulach made up our platters this month. This is part one of a two-part series on funerals and the clothing and food traditions associated with them. Part two will focus on mourning clothes and comfort dishes brought to mourning families by their communities. If you have experienced funerals in communities other than white, Christian-background ones, we'd love to hear from you! Drop us a line through gmail, Facebook or Instagram.

"Canadian Prohibition: That Leaky Apartment Above" We're sipping on some very old-fashioned cocktails this month as we dive into the history of Prohibition in Canada--which, as it turns out, is way more complicated than we'd expected. Torey's got thoughts on thoughts on corsets and flapper dresses, and Steph's found recipes enough to keep us tipsy for days.

Friends, it is summer. It is hot. And we are thanking our past selves for planning a show all about ice cream and swimming. Torey got real into Toronto's swim history this month. Expect a whirlwind history of bathing suits and a lengthy meditation on social change. Steph found out much more than expected about the nebulous history of ice cream, as well as a selection of CanLit that references the treat. We both tried making our own ice cream from recipes c. 1904-1909, with mixed results, as ever. Your browser does not support the audio element. Thanks for listening!

Reunited, and it feels so good! Torey visited Steph in BC and we went on a sweet adventure. We explored the mysterious history of the Nanaimo bar, the resident dessert of Nanaimo, BC. This is Nanaimo's butter tart: lots of butter and a little controversy. We also attempted to complete some of the Nanaimo Bar Trail with live tastings, recorded straight from the field - and we briefly lost Jake along the way.

We've been looking forward to this episode for a long time, folks: we're rationing and refashioning all over the place. Steph's taking the fashion reins and doing a marvelous job of it, ending up with a work dress fit for a 20th-century woman.

Carnophobes, fear no more. This month is all about the veggies. We're looking at the history of vegetarianism in Canada, especially out Steph's way in B.C. where an influx of Doukhobors meant a spike in vegetarianism in the early 1900s. As a well-seasoned vegetarian, Torey's handling the culinary history this month. Steph dove into the culture of Doukhobor textiles and came out with a wealth of information. Thanks for listening!

Are you in the club? The butter tart club? The one that every Canadian (or at least Ontarian) is automatically born into? Yes, today we're talking about our favourite and most controversial pastry. Raisins? Nuts? Plain? Runny/firm? What's the deal? Does the first known recorded butter tart recipe answer any of these questions? Inspired by that very first recipe, we're also talking about another one-time Canadian/Ontarian behemoth: Eaton's! Specifically, Eaton's catalogues. Torey could read those things for days. What we're obsessed with in history: Torey: BBC's A Stitch in Time series (not available in Canada, but you can find full episodes on YouTube) Steph: The Fabric Of Our Land: Salish Weaving - a workshop at the Museum of Anthropology led by Chief Janice George and Buddy Joseph.

Fizzy bubbles in a very non-medicinal ice cream float. This month we're flashing back to the 1950s and peeking behind the picket fence stereotype. With Valentine's Day approaching, we're talking love, romance, gender roles, and how all these things shook out in post-war Canada. In fashion, Torey's preparing for date night by trying to emulate some classic '50s hairdos. There are complications. In food, we're making ice cream floats (or "sodas," as some folks apparently say). Steph's got all the details on the history of this former medicine, and she's also outdone herself with a dizzying array of replicas. Steph is obsessed with: Very well-funded BBC documentaries and very fun-to-watch NFB films Torey is obsessed with: the Toronto Public Library's new streaming service provider, Kanopy, and its array of documentaries. Anita: Speaking Truth to Power is looking especially relevant. Thanks for listening!

Congratulations, everyone: we made it through 2017. To celebrate, we’re looking at New Years’ Eves gone by. Specifically, we’re comparing the weird fear/optimism hybrid of the Y2K age with that of a century prior. Torey dove into the fascinating world of Y2K fashion and tried to get her mind around a comparison with the Victorian fashions of 1900. She also managed to completely ruin coffee by turning it into jelly. Meanwhile, Steph met with success trying to replicate an unexpectedly Canadian appetizer for NYE 1999: sushi!

This month we’re staying chronologically close to home, hopping back just a few decades to the roaring '90s. We chose two happy memories of the period --grunge fashion and the McPizza--and set about to see what they have in common. Torey tried to connect with her inner Kurt Cobain and ended up with only a mild existential crisis in a Value Village. Steph met with much more certain success, finding a veritable double for the McPizza crust recipe (that cornmeal mouthfeel!) and tracing its dubious roots through fast food history. Steph is obsessed with: Beckoned By the Sea: Women at work on theCascadia Coast by Sylvia Taylor Torey is obsessed with: Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise andReign of the Unruly Woman by Anne Helen Peterson.

Have we found the ideal intersection of food and fabric? This month we’re talking about things we can eat that can also make our clothes pretty, and Torey is feeling like a real-life history scientist in her kitchen. Meanwhile Steph is going deep into the Acadian history behind a very delicious veggie soup recipe. Statue of Evangeline and Memorial Church, Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia. Photo by Charles Hoffman on Flickr. Used with Creative Commons license. Torey is obsessed with a book -- one she was reminded of when a coworker requested a list of Canadian history book recommendations (be still, our hearts). A Little History of Canada by H.V. Nelles is at the top of the list -- and scroll to the end of this post for the whole list. Steph is obsessed with new-to-her resources at her new place of work, the Nanaimo Museum. She's educating herself about the history of residential schools in Canada and is particularly interested in one book by a residential school survivor: My Name is Seepeetza by Shirley Sterling.

Listeners, us heritage nerds are in our element this month. We’re playing on the dual meaning of “preserve” and talking jams, jellies, and the Canadian Conservation Institute – an obvious grouping. Torey took a field trip to the Textile Museum of Canada and will not stop talking about it, while Steph is equally enamoured with a book by a one Mrs. Beeton, who’s teaching her how to keep a 19th century household. Torey is obsessed with: Franklin: Death in the Ice, an exhibit currently at the Greenwich Museum (coming to the Canadian Museum of History in March 2018) and its spectacular companion book. Steph is obsessed with: the aforementioned Beeton’s Book of Household Management, a workplace text so good she bought it for herself. (Steph has a cool workplace.)

This month we're exploring the fascinating and strange world of Duqesne Island, as shown by the newly released 1970s CBC documentary The Neddeaus of Duqesne Island. This never-before-seen footage depicts an absolutely definitely real family living on an isolated island in northern Ontario, immersed in a culture all their own. The Neddeaus provide more than enough fodder for a food-and-fashion deep-dive. We're eating all things potatoes (really, so many potatoes); wondering how on Earth this family got ahold of such modern raincoats; and meditating on what a symbol the Neddeaus really are for Canada, identity, and the human condition.

This week on Fashionably Ate we’re flashing back 50 years to the Expo 67 celebrations in Montreal. Along with our usual food and fashion we also get into a discussion about memory – what will people remember about Canada150 in 50 years? In fashion, Torey is all about hostess uniforms (especially the futuristic raincoats). In food, we’ve each chosen two dishes from an Expo pavilion: Swiss fondue and Kirshwasser wine tart, candy corn from the La Ronde fairground, and Ukranian cold Borscht. For once, everything is a success. For our What We’re Obsessed With in History segment, Torey is obsessed with the Spacing store and resources (www.spacing.ca) and Steph is obsessed with an old-fashioned oven she’s learning to use at Fort Langley National Historic Site.

It’s a month of big changes here at Fashionably Ate, and we’ve got an episode themed around one of them: Steph’s new workplace, Fort Langley, BC! We’ve used the Parks Canada Heritage Gourmet app (see the link below) to find a Fort-related recipe, to some surprising success, and Torey’s researching the iconic Hudson Bay blanket. Torey's obsessed with: Indigenous Walks in Ottawa, led by Jaime Koebel -- check out their Facebook page, Indigenous Walking Tours.

This month we’re making the best of what we’ve got in both food and fashion. Inspired by a cookbook of recipes from L.M. Montgomery’s kitchen, we’re experimenting with turn-of-the-century skills and talking about all things Anne. In Fashion we’re talking techniques for mending and darning clothes, and how Torey has fared in trying to bring these once-common skills into her own life. Food-wise we’re cooking up a storm from Aunt Maud’s Recipe Book: From the Kitchen of LM Montgomery. We’ve got some hits (mmm, doughnuts) and some misses (…lemon pie is harder than it looks, okay?) but it all makes for good conversation. In Things We're Obsessed With in History, Torey is really looking forward to Jane's Walks in her new city this weekend (May 5-7) and Steph is on-brand and all Anne. She's especially excited about the CBC's new Anne series, streaming online now. If you have not already subscribed to us on iTunes or Google Play, now is the time!

This month we’re taking a seasonal approach and focusing on all things maple. And, of course, what apparel comes to mind when the opportunity to visit a sugar shack arises? Flannel! We’re looking at the history of the fabric and why it’s so darn useful this time of year. We’re also taking advantage of Steph’s move across the country to experiment with a few different recipes, including microwave maple pie! (#marchmaplemadness) Instead of our usual "what we're obsessed with in history" segment, we're jumping on NPR's #trypod train and recommending hashtags for you to share with your friends and spread the word about podcasts.

Hello, all you Vitamin-C-rich folks out there! This month we’re taking inspiration from a long-cured disease--scurvy! We’re talking age of sail, sauerkraut, and all things antiscorbutic. All this is inspired by stories of European Arctic exploration, and so we’re also looking at cold-weather survival gear. Food-wise, we’re bravely trying out some homemade sauerkraut (with, spoiler alert, pleasantly surprising results) and talking about its long history. We’re also testing our knowledge of things high in vitamin C.

Hey hi halloumi! On this episode Steph and Torey are all about Eastern Ontarian/Quebecois cheese and the people who make it. Torey has embarked on a potentially lifelong quest to answer the question: what did early cheesemakers wear? It’s a harder task than you’d think. Meanwhile, Steph has all the cheese history and science you could want, from ancient cow stomachs to modern degrees in cheese. And, of course, we eat a lot of cheese—seven kinds, in fact—with The Boys, who are bringing the answers to questions you didn’t know you had. Make sure to listen to find out: if Quebec were a cheese, what cheese would it be? If you haven’t found us on iTunes already, now’s your chance!

  Happy holidays & happy new year to all! To accommodate our busy holiday schedules we have a mixed-up informal episode for you today. We’re drinking some very boozey homemade eggnog and wearing our ugliest Christmas sweaters—all of which makes for a very hospitable environment for our *special guests*! Yes, The Boys are on air with us today, reacting to our creations live. We also entertain with the riotous rum-soaked history of eggnog and an original poem by Steph (!!!) on the origins of ugly Christmas sweater parties.

  For the second month in a row we’re chatting about a bombastic historical Pierre. In this episode we’re celebrating weddings old and new, focusing on Pierre and Margaret Trudeau’s secret wedding in 1971. We’re talking about the history of British wedding traditions and how they translated to this Canadian wedding—and how Margaret made both her gown and cake.    We also tried our hand at reproducing that cake, albeit on a smaller scale. It turns out that fruitcake sort of defies the idea of “scale” – but we’ll get into that.   Happy listening! Check out our show notes below for links to articles, photos and resources that we mentioned in this episode.   Note: In this episode we mention the weight of our homemade fruitcake. After weighing what’s left of our fruitcake, we’re estimating an 8lb cake!   Follow along with our new Pinterest account, with a new board for each episode. https://www.pinterest.com/fashionablyate/ And as always, find us through our other social media outlets:  Facebook: Fashionably Ate  Instagram: @FashionablyAteShow Gmail: FashionablyAteShow@gmail.com   PIERRE AND MARGARET TRUDEAU   Margaret’s Recipe: Cartwright, Susan & Alan Edmonds. The Prime Ministers’ Cookbook.

For our second episode we’re diving into Pierre and Laura Berton’s Canadian Food Guide and surfacing with some skill-testing recipes. We’re shucking oysters, gelling some jello and deep-frying wonderful things—all on the wise advice of the Bertons. This book is such a treasure that this episode will be the first in a series of Bertonian episodes. For the first in the series, we’re using the Bertons’ arguments for what makes cuisine “Canadian” to figure out what might constitute Canadian fashion as well. Hint: it’s a bit of a stretch.

    "Ye gods, what a lovely juice this monster does produce!" This month on Fashionably Ate we're taking our cue from the New York Public Library's menu database and attending a farewell banquet for the Lord and Lady Aberdeen in November 1898. First we're sashaying in style to Ottawa's Russell Hotel in fashions befitting a Governor General -- including the fanciest ties. Then we're supping on Mock Mock Turtle Soup -- our modern equivalent to the Aberdeens' genuine article -- and washing it down with some very strong Aberdeen Punch. Resources The menu for this banquet, our inspiration for the episode, can be found here. Fashion Photos of Lord and Lady Aberdeen, 1898 K.B. Brett's Women's Fashion in Ontario, 1867-1907 dates from the 1960s but is a wealth of knowledge on construction and technical changes. Eileen Collard's The Rise and Fall of the Bustle ca. 1867-98 -- a pictoral illustration of the evolution of women's dress in Canada. Eileen Collard has written a number of similar books for different eras and is a go-to resource for Canadian women's fashion. Clothing in English Canada ca 1867 to 1907 even includes some analysis of men's fashion in the same period. Caroline Routh's 100 Years of Canadian Fashion and Alexandra Palmer's Fashion: A Canadian Perspective are great sources for more long-term contextual analysis.

Our veggie recipe: “Lorelai ‘Trix’ Gilmore’s (Mock) Mock Turtle Soup” by Randi Milgram, Dec. 21, 2013. “Traditional Scottish Recipes – Whisky Punch”  - You can find all sorts of Scottish recipes on this website. Ms. Fraser, from Almonte, ON, gives us a recipe for “Mock Turtle Soup” (the calf's head version) in The Canadian Economist: A book of Tried and Tested Receipts.  “What is Mock Turtle Soup?” by Eric Troy gives a great background on Turtle Soup in history and media, as does Stephanie Butler in “The Rise and Fall of Turtle Soup.” For a look at how big a Green Sea Turtle can be, and to read a romanticized version of turtle-soup-eating today, check out this Saveur article. David A. Steen responds to the Saveur article with information on endangered turtles here. The Toronto Star explains why a GTA restaurant can't serve endangered turtles. Find more about species at risk in Ontario here, and for Ontario Turtle Hunting Laws, search for regulation O. Reg. 5880/99, s. 3 Part VII. Our theme music is Nobody's Sweetheart, as performed by Eddie Condon in 1929. Enjoy!
