Course Description

Introducing Family Recipes as Your History
Family recipes are a treasure.  They not only help us prepare food we love but they also connect us to our ancestors, provide a means for stirring up family stories, and help us preserve family traditions and heritage.  You will learn tips for curating and creating a recipe collection to share with generations to come.
Christine Kuffel is a professor and librarian at Harper College and an avid collector of vintage cookbooks and recipes.  In her free time, you'll find her reading, baking, or collecting.
