This week on the Savory Road we visited Scripps College in Claremont to interview Visiting Assistant Professor Marissa Nicosia. She has co written a blog called “Cooking in the Archives”. She and Alyssa Connell from the University of Pennsylvania have been updating early modern recipes from 1600’s to 1800’s for a modern kitchen.
