Cookery books are a remarkable and powerful window into the pastAbout this EventYou can learn the history of just about anything from a cookbook. Cookbooks help us understand the Second World War. They are rich sources for studying the lives of women in the past. They form part of the history of the scientific revolution and the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Cookbooks reveal the impact of colonialism, the pervasive nature of racism, and the emergence of nationalism. They are a great way to chart the rise of consumerism and the emergence of new cultural trends. This lecture explores the value of cookbooks as historical sources, and also encourages participants to investigate the family histories embedded in the cookery books and notebooks containing their grandmother’s recipes that clutter their own bookshelves. Cookery books, in short, are a remarkable and powerful window into the past. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/ha-talk-on-‘what-can-you-learn-from-a-cookbook-other-than-how-to-cook’/100001985958565530 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Ealing Green Church - **lat**: 51.5098975 - **long**: -0.3052213 - **full address**: Ealing Green Church, Ealing Green Church, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: HA Talk on ‘What can you learn from a cookbook (other than how to cook)?’ - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/46b0c08745a4ff37f7aa8ab2737ee170f804813e50963b2ed85f2cb585cbd28b-rimg-w210-h300-dc728d95-gmir.jpg?v=1774846970 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is HA Talk on ‘What can you learn from a cookbook (other than how to cook)?’ being held? - **A:** HA Talk on ‘What can you learn from a cookbook (other than how to cook)?’ takes place on Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Tue, 14 Apr, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Ealing Green Church, Ealing Green Church, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing HA Talk on ‘What can you learn from a cookbook (other than how to cook)?’? - **A:** HA Talk on ‘What can you learn from a cookbook (other than how to cook)?’ is organized by Ealing Branch Historical Association. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "HA Talk on ‘What can you learn from a cookbook (other than how to cook)?’", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/46b0c08745a4ff37f7aa8ab2737ee170f804813e50963b2ed85f2cb585cbd28b-rimg-w210-h300-dc728d95-gmir.jpg?v=1774846970", "startDate": "2026-04-14T19:30:00+01:00", "endDate": "2026-04-14T21:00:00+01:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/ha-talk-on-‘what-can-you-learn-from-a-cookbook-other-than-how-to-cook’/100001985958565530", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Ealing Green Church", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Ealing Green Church", "postalCode": "W5 5QT", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.5098975", "longitude": "-0.3052213" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "You can learn the history of just about anything from a cookbook.

The HA believes that an historical awareness is essential for the twenty-first century citizen. It brings together people who share an interest in, and love for the past, and it furthers the study, teaching and enjoyment of history in all forms. A full version of its aims and activities can be found on its website www.history.org.uk. The H.A. has over 40 local branches of which Ealing is one. Our aim is to promote the study of, and interest in History as a living and relevant part of the past and future of the very diverse population and culture of our area. In our monthly lectures, we aim to present the most up-to-date learning and cover a wide range of topics both local, national and international. We also aim to cover subjects of both topical and commemorative interest. We hope thereby to both ‘instruct and entertain’ as wide an audience as possible." } ] } ] ```
