Event
America's Kitchens, w/Nancy Carlisle / Culinary Historians of New York & Mount Vernon Hotel Museum
The kitchen has been the heart of the American home since our earliest times -- the place where everyone gathers, the source of warmth, nourishment, and comfort, everyone's favorite room. Nancy Carlisle will discuss the American kitchen and how it has evolved from the seventeenth century to the present. Drawing on her new book co-authored with Melinda Nasardinov, "America's Kitchens," she will tell the story of the nation's kitchens from New England hearths to Spanish colonial kitchens, and from detached kitchens on plantations in the South to open plans of the 1950s suburbs. "America's Kitchens" provides new insights into the technological and social changes that have taken place in this room.
Nancy Carlisle is the longtime curator of Historic New England, where she is responsible for some of the nation's most important surviving historical kitchens. She is also the author of "Cherished Possessions: A New England Legacy."
