READ: What’s Cookin’ At Special Collections

What to bookmark this week:Virginia Tech archivist Kira Dietz’s blog, What’s Cookin’ at Special Collections, sharing her discoveries as she ferrets through recipes housed at the University Libraries.

Like so many food collections, Virginia Tech’s archives include a mishmash of cookbook and individual recipe collections, academic papers and advertising jingles (Sound familiar?).

And serve as a reminder, if you look beyond those jello-mold exteriors, that despite the way that those prudent (and pennywise) foodways of Prudence Penny may appear to modern eyes, they really aren’t much different than our current quinoa salad dinner expectations. Get more on the archival food blog possibilities over at the Virginia Tech News website.
