Description
Recipes are some of our most precious heirlooms, representing important cultural traditions and family histories, and creating connections that transcend time, language, and even continents.
In this hands-on bookmaking class, learn to craft your own card-keeper recipe book and exchange recipes (and the stories behind them) with your fellow attendees. You’ll leave with a feast’s worth of recipes to try and a whole new way to share the food that matters to you with the people who matter to you.
No prior bookbinding experience required, but please bring a recipe to share! All materials, and several historic recipes from the Rosenbach catalog, will be provided.
Interested in learning more about recipes throughout time? Check out episodes 15-18 of the Rosenbach Podcast, where staff members recreate recipes found in the collection and discuss the intersection of food and culture with Dr. Psyche Williams-Forson.
