Join us Saturday, December 14th in the Polk kitchen house as Susie crafts a holiday menu over the open hearth. She will be demonstrating how to prepare boiled Irish ham, stewed squash, buttered torte, and colcannon. Not sure what colcannon is? Come out and explore this unique dish.
Stop by from 10 AM to 3 PM to learn about historic cooking techniques and to see firsthand how the Polk family and others of the time made their meals! Reminder, historic foods are not for public consumption but for educational demonstrations only.
All of the receipts can be found in "The Raised Hearth" edited by Joanna Roberts.
