Elizabeth,
I worked on an exhibit with Jai Jordan, Curator, (now at the Mint in
Charlotte) when I was director of the Museum of the Albemarle in Elizabeth
City. The exhibit was called A Taste of the Past and focused on the
emergence of "southern cooking" as a coming together of the European,
African, and American Indian food traditions. We published a catalog, which
might be still available, and we did a symposium. I
We also did another exhibit while in Elizabeth City, called You've Come a
Long Way Baby! -- (with apologies to Virginia Slims). That exhibit did not
focus specifically on food, but we used four time periods of kitchens --
1780s, 1830s, 1920s and 1980s to focus on the changing work role in women's
lives. We also did a supporting exhibit on early cook books. I would be
happy to answer questions if you need more information.
