Get inspired for holiday baking and get a glimpse into gilded age holiday traditions with a cooking demo by food writer and historian Becky Libourel Diamond based on her new book The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook: Cookies and Treats from America's Golden Era. The demo and book signing will take place in Mill City Museum’s Baking Lab and is included with museum admission.
Becky Libourel Diamond is a food writer, librarian, and research historian. Her most recent book, The Gilded Age Cookbook, blends Gilded Age details and celebrity stories with historic menus and recipes updated for modern kitchens. She is also the author of The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America’s First Cooking School. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Rider University and a Master of Library Service (MLS) degree from Rutgers University. She has worked as a Business Librarian at Rutgers–New Brunswick since 2020. She lives in Yardley, Pennsylvania. Visit her at www.beckyldiamond.com.
Mill City Museum’s Baking Lab is an exhibit and programming area where baking takes place every day. Milling operations tested and perfected their flours in areas that might be thought of as the original test kitchens. In the 20th century companies like Pillsbury and General Mills began using these laboratories to develop new consumer products. In Mill City Museum’s Baking Lab, visitors taste bread and sample other baked goods, while exploring the art and science of baking, the food revolution, and the social history of baking.
This event is included in regular site admission.
