A FOOD & THE SOUL OF AMERICA PROGRAM
Georgia Author and Archivist Valerie J. Frey returns to explore sources of recipes in Georgia and the South before World War II. She will highlight various cookbooks and recipes, including Verstille’s Southern Cookery, the 1866 cookbook by (occasional) Columbus resident Ellen Jane Verstille. At the end of her presentation she’ll offer samples of some of the food items discussed, all to be washed down with Temperance Punch from a 1909 recipe.

This project is supported by Georgia Humanities, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, through funding from the Georgia General Assembly.
