America 250 Speakers Series: A Taste of History
Join us for a journey through the history of dining in Maryland as the Society welcomes food historian and cookbook author Joyce White. Ms. White began her career performing as an 1840s kitchen maid at Rose Hill Mansion in the Finger Lakes region of New York. She served as the Education Curator at the 18th-century Square House Museum in Westchester County, New York, and often cooked on the tavern’s 18th-century hearth. In 2006, she began working in Maryland as the Education Director and Foodways Consultant at the 1801 Riversdale House Museum, and she served as the consultant for the restoration of the 18th-century kitchen at Annapolis’ William Paca House. She has appeared on numerous TV shows on CBS, MPT, and PBS, and is the author of Cooking Maryland’s Way: Voices of a Diverse Cuisine.
Ms. White’s presentation offers a unique opportunity to learn about Maryland’s contributions to American cuisine and to pick up some cooking tips. Be part of the fun.
