SD’s food culture explored, preserved at Briggs

BROOKINGS – Tasty morsels of culinary knowledge will be served during an upcoming talk on the cultural impact of food and cooking in South Dakota.

SDSU Extension Nutrition Field Specialists Megan Erickson and Megan Jacobson are presenting "Exploring the Food Culture of South Dakota" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 28, at South Dakota State University's Hilton M. Briggs Library.

Erickson and Jacobson, who are registered dietitians, will teach attendees about the influences behind traditional South Dakota foods and provide a few recipes. The program is open to the public and will be in Archives on the third floor of the library.

The event ties in with the South Dakota Community Cookbook Collection at Briggs Library. Through this project, SDSU Archives is accepting donated South Dakota cookbooks to digitize and add online to the university's institutional repository, Open Prairie (openprairie.sdstate.edu). This includes cookbooks from schools, churches, communities, families and other organizations.

"These cookbooks preserve part of South Dakota's heritage and culture," said Michele Christian, Briggs Library archivist and special collections assistant.

An exhibit about the cookbook project will be on display. Parking is available to the north of the library. Refreshments will be provided.

For more information on the South Dakota Community Cookbook Collection, email Archives at arcrefs@sdstate.edu or contact Christian at Michele.Christian@sdstate.edu or 688-5094.
