Join Capricorn Books, Olive Lucy and our host, the Jenkintown Library for an inaugural cookbook club gathering, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 14TH.
In honor of the Jenkintown’s Sesquicentennial we will read and cook from the Gilded Age Cookbook, written by Becky Libourel Diamond. Participants are encouraged to read the book as well as prepare a dish from the recipes to bring to the event to share.** Becky will also share a presentation on the histories and making of the cookbook.
Becky Libourel Diamond is a food writer, librarian, and research historian. She has been writing about food since 2008, parlaying her passion for food and history into the publication of The Gilded Age Cookbook (August 2023), The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Mrs. Goodfellow: The Story of America’s First Cooking School. Her current project is The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook. She lives in Yardley, PA.
