A Taste of Change: Cookbooks as Social and Historical Documents

Cookbooks contain more than just recipes: they give us a first-hand history of a given family and ethnicity. Using family cookbooks ranging from the late 17th to the 20th centuries, food historian Peter Rose will provide a window into the private and social culinary history of the Dutch—specifically the settlers who founded New Netherland; the present-day states of NY, NJ and DE; and parts of MD, PA and CT. Attendees are encouraged to bring old family cookbooks/recipe boxes: a discussion of the importance of saving such items is part of the program.

$25 per person, $20 for members. Advanced registration is required. Call 212-923-8008 or email [email protected] to RSVP.
