Many cookbooks and recipes still exist from Georgia’s early years, yet most have been forgotten. They sit quietly in archives, waiting to be rediscovered. These sources not only preserve traces of delicious foods that are new again to current generations, but also hold many clues about what home life was like for Georgians in the past. In this presentation, archivist and writer Valerie J. Frey, author of Georgia’s Historical Recipes: Seeking Our State’s Oldest Written Foodways and the Stories Behind Them (UGA Press, 2025), will lead an exploration of recipes from 1733 through 1945 with a historian’s eye. Learn about yesteryear’s cooks and taste of the history of Georgia, the South, and the U.S. through historic foodways. Athens area foodways will also be covered. (Please note that the speaker welcomes program participants to bring knitting or other quiet handiwork to do as they listen.)

Here we encounter two seminal figures in American arts: Composer Aaron Copland and poet Emily Dickinson. Copland's settings of Dickinson's poems is a landmark in the vocal repertory of American music. We will be looking at a selection of these, discussing the poems and then their musical settings, to discover what makes them so expressive.
