Culinary History Highlight: Banana Pudding

Okay, so banana pudding isn't the title of our culinary history collection book that I'm highlighting today, but it is one of the defining features of this book!

With funds from the Peacock Harper Culinary Fund, VT Special Collections recently acquired the Kentucky Receipt Book, one of the first recipe books known to have a recipe for banana pudding!  According to WorldCat, VT is now one of only nine institutions to own a copy of this unique item.  As soon as the book is cataloged, it will be available to researchers in the Special Collections Reading Room.

However, you can also peruse a digitized copy of this book on Google Books!
