Learn How the Wealthy Eat
Join the Culinary Historians of Chicago this Saturday for a lecture about the culinary travels of Elsie Henderson, a former chef for an uber-wealthy family who owned Frank Lloyd Wright's Pennsylvania masterpiece Fallingwater. Henderson went on to cook for other families, including the Mellons, Shrivers and Heinzes (I imagine ketchup was a key ingredient), and wrote about her experiences in "The Fallingwater Cookbook." Saturday's lecture, hosted by Henderson's co-author Suzanne Martinson, will give background about the book and its recipes. "The View from the Kitchen: an Upstairs-Downstairs Look at Frank Lloyd Wright's Most Famous House" runs 10am-noon at the Chicago History Museum,1600 N. Clark. Admission starts at $3. Brangelina not included.
