Lectures with Road Scholar: Origins of Southern Cooking - Food, Politics and Mary Randolph
Join us on Monday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. for the viewing of a lecture on the origins of southern cooking.
When Mary Randolph published “The Virginia House-Wife” in 1824, she created one of the most influential cookbooks in American history. Her recipes revealed much more than culinary tastes — they reflected the values, hierarchies and daily rhythms of Southern life in the early republic. Join historian Christopher Hendricks for an exploration of Randolph’s life, her groundbreaking book and the world it came from. From family scandal and political turmoil to changing roles for women, this lecture uncovers the rich and complicated story behind the first great Southern cookbook and the memorable meals it inspired.
Registration is required and limited to 35. Please register at tinyurl.com/Southern-Cooking. Can't attend in person? Please register for the program or join the Wait List. Everyone who is registered will be sent the recording.
Maeve Hartney, Chief Program Officer of Massachusetts Road Scholar Programs, will lead a viewing of the online lecture at Abbot Public Library, followed by a discussion session.
