SHAKESPEARE IN THE KITCHEN with Marissa Nicosia

Calling all fans of the Bard, culinary scholarship, and extraordinary food writing: Join us to celebrate the release of Shakespeare in the Kitchen by local scholar and friend of the shop Marissa Nicosia!

Audiences and academics alike have long remarked that Shakespeare’s works record the pleasures and perils of the table. Shakespeare in the Kitchen asks what Shakespeare’s poems and plays can tell us about Renaissance recipes, and what these recipes can tell us about Shakespeare’s works.

Dr. Nicosia will be joined by Margaret Eby, food editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer and author of You Gotta Eat, for a conversation on culinary history, literary analysis, adapting recipes of the past to be ready for cooking in the present, and the whole deal with Falstaff’s capons.
