For generations, cookbooks have raised money for churches and charities, while also documenting regional food traditions. A recipe inside one of these books can tell the story of a meal, a cook, and even a community. In this talk, culinary blogger Kara Harris will dig deeper into the stories of the lives lived between the meals, and the culinary legacies left behind.
Date/Time: Wednesday, March 15, 5:30-7pm
