"Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are." --Jean
Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, 1825 Prior to the current age, food
preparation took months of planning and dedication. Putting
meals together was more than scanning directions on the back of
the box; it required hard-earned wisdom and a lot of time. For
example, a vinegar recipe from the 1800s states, “It should be
made in May to be ready for the fall pickling.” The exhibit
covers not only how food was prepared but also how the latest
technology has transformed the face of modern day cooking. The
exhibit delves into Native American cooking, Pioneer/Civil War
cooking, Victorian cooking and cooking in the Modern Age. Join
us for a nostalgic view of the way the original Betty Crockers
got it done! Whether you eat fitness bars or indulge in Ben and
Jerry’s, our exhibit will satisfy your hunger to know how food
