Synopsis

A Celebration of Food and Culture Inspired by Penn Museum Treasures provides readers with fresh ingredients to explore world cultures and culinary traditions. The 133-page, full-color, hardcover book features cultural and culinary stories, 80 tested recipes, and glorious photography of food-related artifacts from the international collections of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. With Culinary Expeditions, readers are invited to explore the world of food through eight great cultural regions, all well represented in the Penn Museum collections: Africa, Asia, Egypt, Greece and Rome, Mesoamerica, the Middle East, and Native America. Short essays follow the evolution of food in each region, emphasizing local ingredients, culinary traditions, and cooking techniques. More than 80 carefully vetted recipes extend the journey: appetizers, breads, soups, salads, main courses, vegetables and side dishes, sauces and relishes are all represented in indigenous recipes from regions around the world. Book Editor Jane Hickman, Ph.D., Penn Museum's Expedition magazine editor, worked with Creative Director Suzanne McDevitt to develop the concept, and Penn Museum collections staff and Women's Committee volunteers to gather the information, images, and recipes for the book.
