With Thanksgiving approaching and then Christmas, we naturally think of family gatherings around the table, which normally end in dessert. Traditionally, this includes a favorite pie, but do we truly know the story behind the pie?
Catherine Lambrecht will share the history and insight of where and when the esteemed American Pie derived. Volunteer Millers of de Immigrant Windmill will host this program at the Windmill Cultural Center at 111 Tenth Avenue, Fulton, IL, (across from the authentic windmill) on Wednesday, November 15, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be offered following the program. The facility is accessible to persons with disabilities.
She is an expert on family heirloom recipes. Catherine will demonstrate how these recipes are passed from generation to generation, with the ability to engender feelings of comfort and catalyze memories.
As a veteran of culinary competitions in Lake County and Illinois State Fairs, Catherine is the Founder of Greater Midwest Foodways Alliance and is associated with other Culinary Historians.
This event is free and open to the public. Monthly programming is made possible by grants through the Illinois Humanities and F.A.C.E./D. S. Flikkema Foundation.
