From a culinary guide with the goal of assimilation to a symbol of cultural recognition, we’ll dive into a cookbook that bridged cultures and funded social programs.
I really enjoyed this episode and it’s so timely as last night at a bookclub our discussion centered on if and how food has played a roll in preserving our individual cultural identities. It was a fascinating discussion as some have what might be considered to be widely disparate backgrounds, at least at the time The Settlement Cookbook was written. I’ll be sure to let them know about this edition of AWE podcast, too. I think they will enjoy it.
Thank you so much for sharing Kate! This was a really interesting episode to research. So often we look at cookbooks only as a collection of recipes and never consider discovering "why" a cookbook was written and published. When we look a little deeper we're able to understand so, so much more about the cookbook, the people/purpose it was intended to serve, and ourselves! ~ Leigh
