The Davenport House Museum's annual Harvest Lecture, Bound to the Fire: How Enslaved Chefs Helped Invent American Cuisine will be held at 6:30 p.m. November 10 at the Second African Baptist Church. This year, Dr. Kelley Fanto Deetz will draw upon archaeological evidence, cookbooks, plantation records, and folklore to present a nuanced discussion of the lives of enslaved plantation cooks from colonial era through emancipation and beyond and how it has shaped American cuisine. This Lecture is presented by the Davenport House Museum and sponsored by Gulfstream as community service and opportunity for enrichment on topics related to its mission.
