Art Deco is all about style…but what did jazz babies eat for dinner?

In The Virtues of Vintage Cookbooks, Kristen takes audiences on a tour through a delicious Art Deco-era meal with love for vintage cookbooks and the nurturing force of homemaking. Learn about luncheon loaf, larding needles, and the gadget that kicked off the second wave of feminism.

Sit back with a cup of coffee and a plate of leftover Charlotte Russe, and do what mid-century cooks could never have imagined doing… put your feet up on the coffee table and watch a color motion picture in the comfort of your own home!

  1. Kristen, hello. I enjoyed your Zoom webinar on the 10th. I, myself, collect vintage cookbooks and cooking pamphlets and have a vintage (1928-1935) kitchen.

    1. Hi Sean! Glad you got to see it! We spoke a decade ago and you sent me some photos of your amazing kitchen, still in a folder on my drive…I almost used them in the lecture but had so many responses from the ADSC community when I asked for kitchens! Is your refrigerator still running? (This is not a “better go catch it” joke!) Do you have any favorite cookbooks or pamphlets?

What do you think?
