Welcome

Chicago Skyline The Culinary Historians of Chicago (CHC) is an educational organization committed to the study of the history of food and drink in human cultures. The members are from a wide range of competencies: those who are everyday cooks or amateur historians to the food professionals and those in academia. The common denominator being that all are food enthusiasts. The blend is of the academic with the popular for presentations to the public in many venues including seminars, conferences, publications and other media. We encourage you to view examples of past guest speakers and events, our recipe page that contains examples of the "bill of fare" from previous monthly meetings, plus there is the option of checking out this month's scheduled event.

If you would like to contact us, please e-mail us at culinaryhistorians.org.
