Adult Lecture: Following Flavors: How Food Storytelling Brings History to Life
Often surprising and always compelling, food stories can connect us with the past and help keep alive the contributions of those who came before us. Drawing on her experiences researching and presenting culinary history at historic sites and in the media, Tonya inspires us to see the foods around us with fresh eyes and follow their unique flavors to gain insight into history.
NOTE: This is the public session of the one-day "What’s Cooking? New Directions in Historic House Kitchens" Conference happening on June 27th.
