FORUM: Expat Cookbooks: Community & Identity While Living Abroad, featuring Dan Freidus

NOBS member Dan Freidus has been collecting cookbooks for his entire adult life. He stumbled into collecting expat cookbooks when he found a community cookbook from an Episcopalian church in Cairo, Egypt. As Dan says, “I found the genre to be incredibly interesting and diverse - everything from books by and for Peace Corps volunteers in Nepal to families of U.S. occupation forces after WWII in Japan, as well as clubs of expats in many cities and countries around the world. Even better, most titles have been quite inexpensive!” Dan’s collection now numbers about 1,000 expat cookbooks from dozens of countries going back to before 1920. Join us on August 24th to hear about and see examples from Dan’s unique collection!

Please note that this Forum will be in person at Loganberry Books beginning at 7:00 PM. You may also join via Zoom:
