The Food Timeline was created by Lynne Olver, reference librarian and IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) member, in response to students, parents and teachers who frequently asked for help locating food history and period recipes at the Morris County Library (Whippany, NJ). The Food Timeline contains information, links, and quotations to all sorts of food history, historical recipes, and food trivia. This site surveys period foods from earliest agricultural information and offers ideas for adapting recipes to meet today’s available ingredients. Interested in social history, manners & menus? Try the Culinary History Timeline. K-12 Teacher Resources include topics like “Real people/brand names?” as well as many lesson plans. Also be sure to check out State Foods, Historic Food Prices, and the links to digitized cookbooks.
