Participants begin the series in a discussion facilitated by Julie Robinson from Literary Affairs, followed by a conversation with Huntington staff and then round off the series with a virtual cooking class inspired by Tudor period cookbooks with Maite Gomez-Rejón of ArtBites.

The event will be held online via Zoom at 5 pm PST on Jan. 13, 20, and 27. Zoom link, recipes, and link to purchase the book will be sent to attendees in registration confirmation email. Registration includes all three days of the series. (members $125; non-members $150)
