Calling all foodies! On Monday, May 5, the Women’s Committee of the Penn Museum launches a new book, Culinary Expeditions: A Celebration of Food and Culture Inspired by Penn Museum Treasures, at a festive—and delectable—luncheon celebration from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The focus is on foods from around the world at this book launch party organized by the all-volunteer Women’s Committee to benefit the Penn Museum. The result of a two year collaboration between Museum staff and the Women’s Committee, Culinary Expeditions is a richly illustrated, full-color publication that brings together recipes and information about foods and food-making techniques with stories about cultures and cuisines of Africa, Egypt, Greece and Rome, Asia and the Middle East, Mesoamerica and Native America.
Penn Museum Director Julian Siggers, will speak about the special links between civilizations and food, and Dr. Jane Hickman, editor of Culinary Expeditions and the Museum’s Expedition magazine, will share insights into the development of the book.
Tickets to the luncheon program include a copy of Culinary Expeditions, special shopping opportunities and complimentary valet parking. To register, visit www.wcpennmuseum.com or call (215) 898-9202 or email ardeth@sas.upenn.edu by April 21.
