University of Chicago- Sweet Home Chicago

I am thrilled to announce that I am curating a confectionery exhibit that will be on display at the University of Chicago. It will be on view from Oct. 11- June 11, 2011.

The exhibit will be broken up into several sections. I cover the history of Chicago confections as well as the technology of candy and chocolate. The pieces in this exciting exhibit come from the U of Chicago, John Crerar Library collection.

If you have an interest in the science and industry of candy & chocolate, food culture and Chicago history, you will be delighted to discover this fantastic and visually beautiful collection.

As programming to support the exhibit, I am delivering a lecture on Friday, Oct. 29th. Please email if you are interested and I will send you a personal invitation.
