Experiment with historic recipes, while enjoying fun and fellowship with other history enthusiasts! Gather for the Mennonite Heritage Center’s How We Ate Cooking Adventure beginning Mar. 1, from 10:00-11:30 AM.
This group will meet on the first Saturday of the month through September. The gathering is organized in celebration of the recent publication of How We Ate by local Historian Alan Keyser. In the book, he examines all foods deliciously Dutch, offering both historical and culinary perspectives.
Throughout the adventure, a common monthly theme and reading will be provided. Each participant will read that selection from the book and choose a historic recipe to make from that section’s themed list. Prior to each meeting, participants will prepare the food in their recipe and bring it to the meeting to share and taste alongside the dishes everyone made. Think of it as a Pennsylvania Dutch potluck. It will be necessary to have access to a copy of the book. A reference copy will be available at the Mennonite Heritage Center.
The group will meet at the Mennonite Heritage Center (565 Yoder Rd., Harleysville). The registration fee is $20 per participant. Registration is required, and space is limited. To register, call 215-256-3020 ext. 112. Programming at the Mennonite Heritage Center shares Anabaptist-Mennonite stories in order to educate, inspire, and witness to the church and community.
