Lunch with the Libraries - Cooks and Their Books: A Culinary Journey through the Sheridan Libraries' Special Collections' Cookbooks
Sponsored by Friends of the Sheridan Libraries and the Arts, Entertainment, Media, and Entrepreneurship Affinity
The Sheridan Libraries’ Department of Special Collections has cookbooks dating back to the late 16th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into the history of food culture. In this presentation, Heidi Herr, Outreach Librarian for Special Collections and the librarian for English and Philosophy, will lead us on a culinary journey through the Libraries’ cookbook collection, highlighting 18th-century whimsical food trends, empowering and at times scandalous women who traded in the frying pan for the pen, and much more.
