As an open hearth and fire-cook, I am
pleased to offer both instruction and
demonstrations in the use of fire to
prepare food. In the winter, I teach the
use of a fireplace; in the summer I cook
outside on a spit. Favorite themes
include Colonial cooking, Dutch
Foodways, Campfire techniques and
contemporary cooking. Programs for
children may be arranged by special request.
Each class will focus on a selected theme.
Students will be provided with a
suitable bibliography, recipes, hands-on
instruction, and the opportunity to eat the
fruits of their labors. You should come
away from the experience with an
enhanced knowledge of food preparation,
and an increased respect for the efforts our
ancestors made in their daily lives.
