Description

Participants in this hands-on two-day workshop will learn the basics of cooking with wood using the technologies of the early 19th and 20th centuries.

On both days, when all is ready participants will move to the dining room to savor the meal they have prepared.

This workshop includes:

  • Tools
  • Ingredients for cooking
Schedule
Day 1
June 5

On day one, participants will learn the art and science of hearth cooking by roasting, broiling, boiling, and baking foods using recipes, tools, and techniques from the first half of the 19th century. The skills they gain preparing a hearty meal can be applied to cooking on their own hearths.

Day 2
June 6

On day two, the early 20th century and cooking on a wood cookstove will be the focus. Using seasonal ingredients, and recipes, techniques (baking, stewing, steaming, and stove-top cooking), and equipment common in the early 20th century, participants will use the farmhouse's Kalamazoo wood cookstove to prepare a satisfying meal.

On both days, when all is ready participants will move to the dining room to savor the meal they have prepared.
