The world is experiencing a farm-to-table food revolution. Jordan, and others like her, have rediscovered, researched, and authored articles and books on \u201cold foods\u201d that pre-date Burpee\u2019s hybrid seed business, dating back to 1949. Jordan focuses on the stories surrounding these old foods, and also on the dedicated and careful collecting and preserving of seeds, a process that has kept these old and flavorful foods alive and available to us today.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Professor Jordan\u2019s book Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and Other Forgotten Foods<\/em> was published by the University of Chicago Press (2015). The book has received positive reviews from the New Yorker<\/em>, the Spectator<\/em>, the Baltimore Sun<\/em>, among many others, and excerpted on Salon.com. Jordan has also been interviewed on numerous podcasts and radio programs on the subject.<\/p>\n
