"A World of Sweets in WA State"


I am delighted to offer this talk through the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau program.  My illustrated presentation looks at the history of migration and culture change in the Pacific Northwest through the lens of sweets treats ranging from marzipan to moon cakes.  A more substantial taste is available on my Speakers Bureau profile page

Want to attend a talk?  Have a look at the schedule below.
