“Endangered Recipes”

With Author Lari Robling

MacColl Room, First Presbyterian Church

201 S. 21^st St.

Food memories from our childhood can be the most nostalgic and profound. While we eat differently today than our younger selves, those early dishes are our comfort foods, our touchstones to the past. Too often, those recipes are lost or never written down and become “Endangered Recipes.” Let's discover how to record these recipes and their stories and pass them down to the next generation. We'll share some stories, learn how to record and save recipes, as well as address some successes and failures. Bring your own memories, questions and we'll share some dishes to spark the conversation.

Lari Robling wrote her book, Endangered Recipes, the Thanksgiving after her grandmother passed away. At a table filled with too much food, there were two missing plates: her grandmother's baked beans and Parker House rolls. Out of three generations, no one had the recipes! She set out to recreate them, and discovered so many families who also had missing recipes, that a book was born.
