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 tasted pumpkin pie, but how did colonists transform this native squash into their beloved autumn traditions? Their resourceful recipes using harvest ingredients tell a richer story than you might expect!
