You've found it -- a recipe right out of Colonial times. But do you really want to try baking in an open fireplace this week? Or, you want to jazz up your Civil War report by offering a serving of hardtack, the enduring but generally tooth-breaking biscuit that soldiers carried with them: How can you find the recipe? Or, your Aunt Grace gave you her recipe for Depression-Era mock beef stew -- er, what ARE those ingredients and how can you substitute others and still have something tasty and true to the era?
Lauren Anderson has wrestled with questions like these. She'll present "In the Kitchen with History" at My Story Matters! Seasoned in the culinary arts, energetic, enthusiastic, and ready to show you a few tricks of the stove or cookbook, she'll get you started on your next project. Bring a notebook along.
FLASH NEWS! So many people have signed up for Lauren's presentation that she'll be offering it in both sessions II and III. Teachers and other coordinators, please watch for an e-mail that will help us sort out who'll be where and when (thank you!).
