About This Lecture

Which kinds of dishes were on dining room tables in Sarasota County 50 years ago? What about a century ago? Maybe even earlier? The handwritten recipes and cookbooks in the Sarasota County History Center’s collection hold all sorts of clues to our local culinary history. Join Dr. Josh Goodman for a unique look at our fascinating heritage through the lens of food.

About This Series

What did the first settlers in Sarasota Bay eat? What did the first hotels in Sarasota and Venice serve their guests? And what can those menus tell us about the history of our region? Join the staff of the Sarasota County History Center and special guests this fall as we serve up a series of talks focusing on food as a way to explore the past.
