History of Midwestern Sweets 101
This is one lecture you'll want to pay attention to. Chef Jenny Lewis and former Alliance Bakery owner Heidi Heidecker will be on hand Saturday for some sweet talk at the Chicago History Museum, 1601 N. Clark St. The lecture will cover baking traditions of Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan including classic midwestern dessert history on the likes of brownies, whoopie pies and more. Because let's be real, there's no such thing as knowing too much about a good dessert. This two hour talk (10am to noon) is hosted by Culinary Historians. Admission is $5 and you can RSVP to culinary.historians@gmail.com.
