'Seasonal Colonial Cooking' at Northborough Historical Society

The Northborough Historical Society will hold its monthly meeting on Friday, December 5, 2014 at 7:30 PM. The evening’s program is, “Seasonal Colonial Cooking” presented by Kevin Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald.

If you think traditional New England cooking is little more than baked beans and clam chowder, think again. These acclaimed authors will serve up a delicious feast of information and interesting recipes from our colonial ancestors.

Husband and wife scholars, Stavely and Fitzgerald, co-wrote Founding Food: The Story of New England Cooking and Northern Hospitality: Cooking by the Book in New England.

Keith Stavely is a writer and scholar whose interest in the Puritan influence on American and English culture has resulted in a number of critically-esteemed books and articles. He has been a Guggenheim and American Council of Learned Societies fellow and a winner of the Modern Language Association Prize for Independent Scholars. He taught at Boston University, Boston College, and worked as a librarian and library administrator for many years in Massachusetts public libraries.

Kathleen Fitzgerald holds a B. A. in English Literature from Boston University, a Master of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School, and a Master of Library and Information Studies from the University of Rhode Island. She has worked for over twenty years as a public librarian in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Meetings are held at the Historical Society building, 52 Main Street (corner of Main and School Streets) in Northborough. There is no charge to attend. All are welcome.
