Cooking in the Archives: Updating Early Modern Recipes (1600-1800) in a Modern Kitchen

This public food history project aims to find, cook, and discuss recipes from cookbooks produced between 1600 and 1800. Each month a new recipe is added along with historical contextualization, a photograph of the original recipe, a transcription, a modernization, and a discussion of the cooking process and results. The project also includes resources for teaching with early modern recipes.
