SUMMARY:Cooking the Books: Manuscript Recipe Books\, Early Modern English L
 iterature\, and the Twenty-First-Century Kitchen
DESCRIPTION:\nLecture by Marissa Nicosia\, The Pennsylvania State Universit
 y - Abington College\n\nManuscript recipe books are full of intriguing\, s
 trange\, and familiar concoctions: recipes for syllabubs\, turnip cordial 
 water\, jumballs\, and carrot pudding. When Dr. Nicosia launched Cooking i
 n the Archives in 2014\, she wanted to know what would happen if culinar
 y historians asked questions in the kitchen as well as in the library. She
  wanted to see if four-hundred-year-old recipes would still work if she tr
 ied them in her tiny kitchen in Philadelphia.\n\nDr. Nicosia’s project s
 ets out to find\, investigate\, update\, cook\, and write about recipes fr
 om manuscript recipe books produced between 1600 and 1800. This research p
 ractice has\, in turn\, attuned her to culinary metaphors in the literatur
 e that she researches and teaches\, including works by William Shakespeare
 \, Margaret Cavendish\, and many others. In this talk\, she will share rec
 ipes and explain how she finds\, researches\, updates\, and\, most importa
 ntly\, cooks from recipe books. She will also discuss how this embodied re
 search practice informs her approach to early modern English literature.\n
 \nMarissa Nicosia is Associate Professor of Renaissance Literature at The 
 Pennsylvania State University -- Abington College and she lives in Philade
 lphia. Marissa has published articles on Renaissance literature\, temporal
 ity\, food culture\, and book history and manuscript studies. She previous
 ly held a month-long fellowship at the Clark to support this work. Since 2
 014\, Marissa has been updating historical recipes and writing about that 
 process on her public food history website Cooking in the Archives (www.r
 arecooking.com). Her first monograph\, Imagining Time in the English Chron
 icle Play: Historical Futures\, 1590-1660 was published Oxford University 
 Press in September 2023\, and her current research projects include Shakes
 peare in the Kitchen (forthcoming from Routledge's Spotlight on Shakespear
 e series) and Seasonal Tastes: Literary and Recipe Cultures\, 1550-1750.\
