Preserving Family Recipes Virtual Program: How to Save and Celebrate Your Food Traditions

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 So, what can you do if a beloved recipe is sketchy, outdated, impossible to read, or (far worse) never got written down? How can you make sure old 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 say if you read between the lines? Valerie J. Frey, archivist and author of Preserving Family Recipes, will lead an exploration of various aspects of your family’s heirloom recipes.

This program will be presented virtually. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
