About This Event

Join us for the launch of Dish and Tell: Recipes from the Heart, a new cookbook by Sarah Peterson that pairs delicious dishes with their “tells”—the stories and family histories behind them.

Every family has certain recipes they treasure, the beloved foods that show up at potlucks, holidays, or other special occasions. Often these dishes are tied to a childhood memory or remind us of a loved one whose signature dish has brought joy to the table through the years.

Dish and Tell: Recipes from the Heart highlights celebrated dishes from Peterson’s recipe box—and collects stories from other passionate home cooks who opened their kitchens to share their own tried-and-true recipes. Peterson takes readers along as she visits, cooks, and bakes with friends old and new to present a smorgasbord of family favorites. She serves up stories about the people behind the dishes and offers special tips and tricks from the keepers of these recipes.

Meet author Sarah Peterson and celebrate the launch of Dish and Tell with family recipes and stories in the Heffelfinger Room at the Minnesota History Center. Copies of Dish and Tell will be available for purchase. This event is free; access to museum exhibits requires the purchase of site admission.

Sarah Peterson is a communications professional and creator of Vintage Dish and Tell, a blog about cherished family recipes. Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, she blends her love of food and storytelling through both her work and her writing. Learn more at vintagedishandtell.com.
