Four Pounds Flour is a unique brand dedicated to exploring and revitalizing historic American cuisine. Founded and led by Sarah Lohman, a self-proclaimed "historic gastronomist," the brand aims to create a connection to the past through the recreation of traditional recipes. Lohman's journey began in Ohio, where she first embraced culinary history by cooking over a wood stove at a museum. Her passion culminated in her book, "Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine," which delves into the intricacies and influences that shape American food today.

Four Pounds Flour not only offers insights into historic recipes but also curates public programs and events in collaboration with notable institutions, including The American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Museum of American History. Through her blog, FourPoundsFlour.com, Lohman invites readers to discover the rich stories behind forgotten flavors and cooking methods, blending nostalgia with contemporary culinary practices. Whether through food writing or dynamic workshops, Four Pounds Flour is a celebration of America’s culinary heritage.
