A World of Sweets in Washington State

Ice Cream!   “A World of Sweets in Washington State.” 

Thursday, July 11 at 6 PM in the Coach House, followed by ice cream sundaes for everyone.  $2 suggested donation

From bienenstich to bánh xu xê, marzipan to mochi, the diverse range of sweets we enjoy across Washington state reveals much about our shared history and culture. Each of these sweets tells a story: Ingredients illustrate trade routes and trends, recipes record migration patterns and special forms point to special occasions. This mouth-watering and thought-provoking talk will invite us to savor the ways in which sweets show how individuals and communities celebrate, adapt and interact.

Presented by Julia Harrison, a trained anthropologist and avid traveler for whom all roads lead to sweets.
