The Cookbook

The Lemon Grove Historical Society’s “History Alive” series presents food-historian Carol Perkins on the phenomenon of the cookbook and what drives (usually) women to write them.
From the church-lady recipes of the 1920s to the make-do-with-nothing recipes of the Great Depression to the ration-book wonders of WWII to the good-life explosion of the fifties to the anyone-can-cook spirit of modern days, Perkins provides the lowdown on what’s for dinner. Info: 619-460-4353.
