About the event

Authors at McMillan- Jane Conway and Randi Julia Ramsden
Authors Jane Conway and Randi Julia Ramsden will talk about their book,

"Extra! Extra! Eat All About It!:
Recipes and Culinary Curiosities from Historic Wisconsin Newspapers".

A blend of cookbook and bite-size history, Extra! Extra! Eat All About It! offers a unique glimpse into the Midwestern culinary landscape between 1870 and 1930. Fifty recipes selected from Wisconsin newspapers are served alongside brief essays that dig into the history behind the food trends of the time. In lively prose, historians Jane Conway and Randi June Ramsden reveal how coconuts and oysters made their way to 1800s Wisconsin, how the state came to lead the nation in commercial pea canning, how bakers gauged the temperatures of their wood-burning stoves, and how our predecessors really did slip on banana peels, among other flavorful facts.
