If you, like the Queen of Hearts here, plan on making (or consuming) tarts and pies this coming week, we have a book recommendation for you!

Though this stained-glass image resides inside Sterling Library, you will *not* find "The Art of Making Tarts" or "The Complete History of Jams" on the shelves.

Instead, you might consider borrowing "Food History Almanac: Over 1,300 Years of World Culinary History, Culture, and Social Influence" by Janet Clarkson, which find in print and online via Quicksearch.

Happy Thanks-reading from Bass Library!..

The Senior Prize is $1,000, and the Sophomore Prize is $700. Applications are due February 21 at 5:00pm. For more information, visit vansinderen.yale.edu (link in bio).
