Exhibition - Lifting the Lid: 400 years of food and drink in Scotland

News of a new exhibition from the National Library of Scotland (www.nls.uk):

Lifting the Lid: 400 years of food and drink in Scotland

Using the Library’s rich collections of manuscript and printed recipe books, our new exhibition explores Scotland’s changing relationship with food and drink over the centuries, as part of the Year of Food and Drink 2015.

Lifting the Lid has been designed like the chapters of a modern day cook book with separate sections on soups, oatmeal and bread, fish, meat, vegetables, desserts and baking, jams and preserves.

Each section has a kitchen counter with items displayed and memorable quotes about food and diet appear on chopping boards.

Admission free.
George IV Bridge, Edinburgh
