From world-class restaurants to popular and affordable foodstuffs, food has been an iconic part of Quebec identity across and through cultural, religious and linguistic shifts. Montreal Gazette food writer Julian Armstrong and culinary historian Nathalie Cooke will talk about a toolkit for cooking with historical recipes and explore how French Canadian passion and iconic personalities have shaped Quebec’s distinctive culinary traditions. 

The lecture will take place in the Colgate Seminar Room, located in the Rare Books and Special Collections (4th floor) of the McGill Library on Wednesday, October 4. Presented by Friends of the McGill Library.

Both of Nathalie's edited publications with MQUP, Catharine Parr Traill’s The Female Emigrant's Guide: Cooking with a Canadian Classic and What's to Eat?: Entrées in Canadian Food History, will be for sale at the event.
