Healing words: Autumn Lectures

On 19 November join the RCP Museum’s Autumn lectures to explore recent research and practical recreation using the incredible resource of historic recipe books from across England, Scotland and France.

We are delighted to welcome current researchers Finn Manders and Dr Lisa Smith as expert speakers for the evening. Dr Lisa Smith is a senior lecturer at the University of Essex and founding member of the Early Modern Recipes Online Collective. She will explore medical networks and women’s medical practices through recipe books and documents from two silk-workers, self-defined ‘chymists’ and herbalists in 18th century Lyon. Finn Manders is a current PhD researcher at UCL and will discuss ‘Attending to the seasons in Early Modern Scotland’ using recipe books written by Scottish noblewoman.

Current RCP Museum exhibition Healing words tells the unofficial story of medical practice,1500-1800, in England through the RCP’s own collection of recipe books. The evening will include an introduction to the exhibition and practical demonstrations of recreation of recipes from those books.
