$July History Hour: Author Event\u2013 \u201cGeorgia\u2019s Historical Recipes" with Valerie J. Frey$

What can an old recipe tell us about the past?
To celebrate National Culinary Arts Month, we’re welcoming archivist and author Valerie J. Frey for a presentation on her book “Georgia’s Historical Recipes: Seeking Our State's Oldest Written Foodways and the Stories Behind Them," from 18th-century cookbooks to handwritten family recipes. Come learn what those who came before us cooked, what they valued in their diets, and why these traditions still matter today. Books will be available for signing!
History Hour with Historic Athens One Story is a free monthly educational program held at the Lyndon House Arts Center with complimentary lunch from Rashe's Cuisine available on a first come, first serve basis, including vegan options. We’ll see you Tuesday, July 7 at noon!
