[Sca-cooks] Authors of New Apicius to Speak in NYC

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Forwarded from another list:

>Sally Granger and Dr. Chris Grocock will be speaking Thursday, March 
>31, at the New York Academy of Medicine, about their forthcoming new 
>translation of the Apicius manuscript.  As an extra attraction (if 
>that were needed), the NYAM had agreed to display their 9th century 
>copy of the manuscript.  I saw the manuscript this fall, and it was 
>quite thrilling to see the polychrome and beautiful script on vellum.
>
>The lectures are sponsored by the Culinary Historians of New York; 
>details are available at www.culinaryhistoriansny.org/events  Please 
>note that the reception will take place BEFORE the lecture; the 
>doors open at 5:45.  The $30 fee includes admission to the lectures, 
>ms viewing, and cocktail reception (the food will be "inspired" by 
>the Apicius text, but the NYAM has a monopoly caterer, so do not 
>expect complete fidelity to the original recipes; our hands are tied 
>on this one).
>
>Please contact me if you'd like to attend; I hope that some of you 
>in the NY area can make it to hear Sally and Chris in what promises 
>to be an extraordinary evening for lovers of Latin, Roman cuisine, 
>and culture, and to learn more about Culinary Historians of New York.

>Chairman, CHNY
