  8. Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford Holding a Community Cook-Off

    Hartford chef types will embrace the Connecticut Historical Society's Community Cook-Off, judged by local foodies MaryEllen Fillo (<em>Hartford Courant</em>), Kara Sundlun (WFSB), Chion Wolf (WNPR's <em>Colin McEnroe Show</em>), Krystian von Speidel (<em>Hartford Magazine</em>) and Caitlin Croswell (CaitPlusAte.com). Contestants compete in four categories: the Not-So-Secret Ingredient Challenge (the ingredients are bacon, chocolate and poblano peppers, which clearly need to happen in the same dish), From Grandma's Kitchen (yellowed page, family tree-style recipes), What's in that casserole, anyway?! and the always popular "I didn't know you could do that with Jell-O." Pros like the Pond House, Thomas Hooker Brewing Company and Diageo wines provide alternate grub (in case that bacon Jell-O chocolate casserole is a miserable flop).

  12. Cooking by the Book at the Connecticut Historical Society

    Some of us have gone down that road of pawing through old cookbooks, not only to look for some old fried chicken or pie recipe but also to glimpse how our forebears used to feed themselves and their kinfolk. Head to <em>Cooking by the Book: Amelia Simmons to Martha Stewart</em>, a new exhibit opening on Jan. 18 at the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford, where you'll gain a new appreciation of the world of pre-Guy-Fieri's-sideburns cooking. It traces changes in cuisine through iconic American cookbooks, including Amelia Simmons's <em>American Cookery</em> (1796, pictured). The opening reception and talk on Jan. 18 features food created from historic recipes. (You'll also want to pencil April 5, the date of a related community potluck, into your smartphone.)
