Author and archivist Valerie J. Frey will explore various aspects of your family's heirloom recipes.

From Uncle’s barbecue sauce to Grandma’s cobbler, family recipes fill us with nostalgia and draw us closer to family – if they have been saved and if they actually work right, that is.  So what can you do if a beloved recipe is sketchy, horribly outdated, impossible to read, or unwritten? How can you make sure those old handwritten recipes as well as heirloom photos and kitchen artifacts last for future generations? And did you ever stop to look at your recipes with a historian's eye, exploring what that family recipe may be telling you between the lines?  

This program is sponsored by the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.

Inspired to try some favorite local recipes? Consider purchasing the Food for Friends Cookbook available for purchase online or at the circulation desk.
