Join food historian and author, William Woys Weaver and What’s Cooking blog writer, Katie Maxwell, as they explore the Treasures of the Larder Invaded in this three-part seminar. This seminar is in-person and space is limited.

The United States Centennial in 1876 was such a seminal turning point in American and Philadelphia culinary history that entire books have been devoted to its planning and success. Foremost, the fairgrounds offered foods of all kinds, both foreign and new-fangled.  This session will provide an overview of the Centennial’s food scene and not in the least, how the Women’s Committee managed to make it profitable.

Please note: This is a series. One registration covers all three sessions.
