    U-M dedicates its new culinary history center

More than 200 of the nation's top culinary experts, food historians,
cookbook authors, food journalists and others will gather in Ann Arbor
May 13-15 for the dedication of the Longone Center for American Culinary
Research and the First Biennial Symposium on American Culinary History.

The Longone (lahn-GO-nee) Center, part of the University of Michigan's
William Clements Library, grew out of the thousands of books,
manuscripts, pamphlets, diaries, food magazines, catalogs, menus and
related culinary items donated to the library by Ann Arbor culinary
historian and book dealer Jan Bluestein Longone and her husband, Daniel
Longone, a wine historian.

Speakers include Anne Willan, cookbook author and founder of La Varenne
cooking school in France; Darra Goldstein, founding editor of the
culinary journal Gastronomica; Andrew F. Smith, editor-in-chief of the
Oxford Encyclopedia on Food and Drink in America; and Ari Weinzweig,
founding partner of the Zingerman's food companies in Ann Arbor.


It's American foods, but it's cookbooks and it's local.
