About the event

Food History: The Chronology of Cookbooks
Join us for an evening of culinary exploration as we dive into the rich world of early American cookbooks. This special event features a thoughtfully curated three-course meal inspired by historical recipes, each dish offering a taste of how our ancestors once dined.

Our guest speaker for the evening is Sara Bir, acclaimed food historian, chef, and author. With her unique blend of humor, insight, and culinary expertise, Sara will guide guests through the fascinating evolution of American cooking, sharing stories behind the recipes and those who wrote themβ€”from cookbooks of our not-so-distant past to some of the country’s earliest published cookbooks.
