  2. 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).

  5. 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.)

  8. Archivists scramble after men accused of stealing historic documents

    On an invitingly bright summer day, the reading room at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania starts filling up nonetheless as soon as the doors open: professors, Ph.D. candidates and amateur genealogists alike stream in to spend hours perusing the yellowed letters and faded land records, the presidential papers and everyday ephemera that are stored in the group's vaults.

  9. The Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford Remembers Prohibition in Connecticut

    For months, CPTV solicited prohibition-era photographs and memorabilia from Connecticut residents for <em>Prohibition: Connecticut Goes Dry</em>, an original documentary airing soon. To celebrate, they've teamed up with the Connecticut Historical Society, Glastonbury's Pond House and Manchester's own purveyors of contemporary moonshine, Onyx Spirits, for a night of flapper dresses, fedoras, speakeasies and food. After downing some creative moonshine cocktails and grub, attendees, who'll catch the first glimpse of the documentary, will get to wander through the museum and gaze at other historical CT ephemera. Seating's limited, so get on the phone, flappers.
