On Sunday, September 28 at 4:30 p.m. (rescheduled from 3:00 p.m. due to parade postponement), Windsor Historical Society presents "Some Reflections on the History of British Cooking, 1633 and Today" with internationally-acclaimed cook and award-winning food and food writer Frances Bissell. Bissell, a Yorkshire woman married to Tom Bissell, a Windsor descendant, looks at the England that her husband's forbear, Captain John Bissell and his fellow founding settlers of Windsor left behind with particular reference to the food they ate and their culinary traditions. Who were the seventeenth century's top chefs? Who were the famous food writers of the day? What were the favorite foods of the times? Discover how the seventeenth century was one of the richest, most vibrant and exciting periods in English culinary history.
Frances Bissell was the first woman chef to be elected to the Academy of Culinary Arts and she was The Times (of London)'s food writer for thirteen years. Bissell has been guest chef in some of the world's leading hotels and restaurants. She is the author of many best-selling books and has written and starred in two British television series. Join us for a lecture guaranteed to be as delightful as it is informative. A reception follows. Cost for this program is $4 for adults, $3 for seniors and students, and free for WHS members. The Society's new Faces of Windsor exhibition will be also open after the lecture. Parking is available in the Windsor Discovery Center and First Church parking lots and around Palisado Green.
