Spice up your cooking with the Food Historian Lecture Series, Presented by AARP. Join AARP and attendees from across the U.S. for a FREE virtual lecture on spices on September 21, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. ET | 5:30 p.m. CT | 4:30 p.m. MT | 3:30 p.m. PT with Francine Segan - AARP Membership not required. 

Pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and more. Discover the fabulous world of spices in this amusing and fast-paced talk. Learn where spices come from, how they grow, and how they have been used throughout the centuries. Hear about their history, myths and legends  and best of all, how we can “spice” up our cooking by trying some new ones.  Learn fun factoids like: which spice costs more per ounce than gold; why the 18th century wealthy carried their own personal nutmeg graters; which spice cures a toothache; why the "pumpkin pie" spices were thought to be an aphrodisiac and which is the secret spice in Worcestershire sauce.

Join us LIVE for a lecture, followed by a Q&A where you can ask your questions.
