Judy Polinsky
Retiring from a career in the film and television industry, Judy Polinsky began to expand her passions for theater and history by presenting and interpreting foodways of the 18th Century. Her extensive collection of original and reprint Colonial era cookbooks gave her the source material to develop accurate period menus for her historical presentations. Her curiosity was piqued by the frequent use of rose as a flavoring. This led to experimenting with roses - and a new passion for 18th Century rose flavored desserts was born!
