  • Shakespeare in the Kitchen Book Talk

    Hill-Physick House 321 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Join us at the Hill-Physick House on Thursday, July 16th at 6:30 PM to hear about Marissa Nicosia's new book Shakespeare in the Kitchen. Audiences and scholars alike have long remarked that Shakespeare’s poems and plays record the pleasures and perils of the table. Marissa Nicosia's new book, Shakespeare in the Kitchen, asks what Shakespeare’s works can tell us about Renaissance culinary recipes, and what these recipes can tell us about Shakespeare’s works. In this talk, she will consider how preparing the recipes that permeate the canon can help us interpret food references such as festive cakes in Twelfth Night.
