Description

Santa Cruz cookbook collector Thomas Gordon presents choice items from the U.S. period between World Wars I and II, including general interest cookbooks, some of the earliest regional and ethnic cookbooks, and pamphlets marketing specific products. These materials reflect two elements of American food history: the beginning of diversification of what had been a largely English-based cuisine, and the increasingly symbiotic relationship between “home cooking” and the industrialization of food.

This event is in partnership with the Culinary Historians of Ann Arbor.
