Earlier this year, Bennett Rea AKA @cookinwithcongress prepared Revolutionary War-era food for Ken Burns. Their third shared dish, Hearty Choke Pie — a Martha Washington specialty — earned high praise from Ken on both presentation and flavor.

The two discussed the contributions and roles of women during the revolution. If you missed Ken Burns' new documentary series, The American Revolution (co-directed by Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt) you can stream it now on the @PBS app.

Check out Bennett's full conversation with Ken in the linked video.
