AAUW – POAB invites all to attend …

Penelope Bingham presenting:

 

“What would Lincoln Eat ~American Cookbooks and Culture 1809-1865, free to the public on March 4th, 2010, at 7:30 at the Orland Park Presbyterian Church.  This presentation is provided by a grant given to the American Association of University Women - Palos Orland Area Branch by the Illinois Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Illinois General Assembly.  From cornmeal mush in a log cabin on the American Frontier to Charlotte Russe à la Parisienne at the White House, the food on Lincoln's table and the cookbooks of the period shed light on both Lincoln's story and that of the United States . This program invites the audience to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's days with the recipe for his Favorite Cake, and to think about this era of unprecedented expansion and turmoil, which set in motion changes in America and to its foodways that continue into the present.

The IHC Road Scholar that will be presenting the program is Penelope Bingham.  She holds degrees from Wellesley College and the University of Chicago and has been an avid collector and appraiser of cookbooks for many years. Her personal collection of cookbooks now exceeds well over 2,000 volumes, and she has given numerous programs on American culture and cookbooks to libraries and professional organizations around Illinois .
