DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 28\, 14h\n	Westmount Public Library\n	4574 She
 rbrooke W\, Westmount\, QC H3Z 1G1\n\nReserve your seat!\n\nJoin Professor
  of Literature Nathalie Cooke for a lively talk on the hidden stories menu
 s reveal – through words\, design\, and historical context. Discover why m
 enus matter and try your hand at a fun riddle challenge drawn from vintage
  menu items.\n\nIn her book\, Tastes and traditions: A Journey Through Men
 u History\, Cooke draws on centuries of menus—from luxury trains to POW ca
 mps\, from fine dining establishments to refugee ships—to reveal how menus
  bear witness to evolving notions of taste\, health\, and individual and c
 ollective identity. With examples ranging from 18th-century handwritten “e
 nigmatical bills of fare” to Bangkok’s emoji-filled menu\, Tastes and Trad
 itions is both a feast for the eyes and a deep dive into the layered stori
 es menus tell. Inviting readers on a visual and intellectual feast\, Taste
 s and Traditions explores centuries and continents through the lens of men
 us. Beyond a mere list of dishes\, in Cooke’s hands\, menus serve as peeph
 oles on broad social trends\, culinary innovations\, precise moments in hi
 story\, and even our evolving sense of health and fulfilment.\n\nCopies of
  the book will be available for sale.\n\nThis talk is co-organised by the 
 Rare Books and Special Collections at ��ñ�� Libraries.\n
