About this event
Calling all history buffs and food explorers! Join our 2026 Colonial Cooking series to meet the ingredients, recipes, and techniques that built early America. We'll chop, mix, and bake our way through history, learning the stories behind the staples and demystifying the daily life of the past. Get ready for a hands-on taste of history that will change how you see food! We've all enjoyed sweet cookies, but how did colonists bake these treats without modern ovens and ingredients? Their clever recipes and hearth techniques created simple delights with a fascinating history that might surprise you!
