Class Description
In this cooking demonstration and workshop, we will study, prepare, and taste early modern European recipes influenced by the Age of Exploration and empire-building of Western colonialism. We will explore this period of culinary exchange and discovery and learn about premodern food culture through reading and interpreting recipes from a variety of European culinary sources.
Sarah Peters Kernan, Scholar-in-Residence at the Newberry Library, holds a PhD in medieval history from Ohio State University. In addition to regularly writing and teaching, she is co-editor of The Recipes Project and host of the Around the Table podcast.
