SCPL & Smitten Kitchen: An Evening with Deb Perelman

Join us for a conversation with Deb Perelman about cooking within the confines of a tiny kitchen, writing a cookbook, and staying so down to earth while being internet famous. We will be celebrating the release of her third cookbook Smitten Kitchen Keepers out November 15.
More about Deb Perelman:
Deb Perelman shot to fame with her blog Smitten Kitchen where she got her name as the kind of person you might innocently ask what the difference is between summer and winter squash and she’ll go on for about twenty minutes before coming up for air to a cleared room and you soundly snoring. After some time and two successful cookbooks, Deb has finally realized that there are people who might forgive her for such food, cooking and ingredient-obsessed blathering and possibly, even come back for more.

In 1891, a debate took place at the Spartanburg Opera House between South Carolina Governor Benjamin Tillman and Ben Terrell, a famous lecturer for the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union. The two men sparred verbally over the Alliance’s plan for an agricultural “subtreasury” that would provide federal loans to farmers based on the value of their crops. Tillman condemned the idea as socialism while his opponent supported it. Dr. Krause will tell about this intriguing drama as well as the important social and political influence that the Farmers’ Alliance had in Spartanburg County and across the region. The Alliance functioned like a combination of school, fraternal organization, and church. It educated and mobilized farmers to push for legislation that would mitigate destructive market forces, and it sharped nascent class antipathies between town and country residents. Dr.…
