18th Century Cooking Class

Throughout 2012, Woodville Plantation will present a series of hands-on cooking classes titled Cookery Made Plain and Easy. Guests will have a unique opportunity to join historical interpreters in Woodville's original kitchen to learn food preparation, cooking and presentation methods of the 18th century. Using Hannah Glasse's 1796 cookbook and other period resources, students will learn how to prepare tasty 18th century recipes.
The first class of the year will be held from 1 pm to 5 pm on Sunday, April 15, 2012. With period correct ingredients and reproduction cooking equipment, students will be taught how to cook an onion pie, English onion soup and forced onions.
