Average Course Rating

(-1)

Students will examine cookbooks and cookery ephemera ranging from the 16th through the early 20th centuries in order to learn about book history, forgotten celebrity chefs, the art of creating "manly" sandwiches, and just why so many cookbooks included recipes for treating the plague. Students will also have the opportunity to recreate a recipe from one of the antique cookbooks. The course will take place in the special collections teaching space at the Brody Learning Commons. I will be able to schedule the room and will have access to all necessary equipment.
