[LM_NET] LoC Online Program: Recipes & Cookbooks: Windows Into Our Savory Past (TODAY!)

[Laura Gottesman <lgot@LOC.GOV>]

Posted on behalf of a colleague. Please note: This Program is Today at 2PM (EDT).

Recipes & Cookbooks:  Windows Into Our Savory Past

The contents of cookbooks - measurements, ingredients, preparation methods, 
captions, side notes, and diagrams - conjure up images of campfires, hearthside 
kettles, electric stoves, and ovens yielding fragrant aromas.  They reflect the 
influences of native peoples, immigration and migration, hard times, and advances 
in technology.  Through shared recipes, we glimpse another side of our history:  
celebrations and ceremonies; hard times; and the resourcefulness and ingenuity of 
the human spirit.  Join Alison Kelly, Research Specialist, Science Reference 
Section, and Judy Graves, Digital Projects Coordinator, for a journey through the 
tasty resources on the Library of Congress Web site.

When:  Wednesday, December 13, 2 p.m. (E.D.T.), 1:00 p.m. CST
