Come learn how to fire the oven. We will bake bread and pie in the beehive oven.
Join us this winter to prepare and eat savory and sweet dishes of the past under the guidance of our experienced open hearth cooks. Workshops are held in the kitchen of the Visitor Center at Hall Tavern that dates to 1786. Historic Deerfield’s open hearth cooks will teach you a variety of cookery techniques and lead discussions on how food preparation has changed over time, preservation technology, seasonality, diet, and the availability of local and imported foodstuffs. A bibliography on open hearth cookery will be distributed.
You will participate in the process and assist open hearth cooks in the preparation of period recipes. Please dress comfortably, bring an apron, pen, and paper for notes. After the food is prepared, you will sit down together to enjoy the fruits of your labor. For program information, please contact the Program Manager at [email protected] or (413) 775-7217.
The registration fee for each class is $75.00 per person ($70.00 for members). Participants will receive a confirmation letter by email.
Registration coming soon!
