A Workshop in Historic Recipe Research
Historic Deerfield Mass.
March 17, 2014 – March 19, 2014 | 9:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Once again Sandra L. Oliver, noted food historian and celebrated author, will lead an intensive three-day workshop in historic recipe research. Each participant selects a recipe and an alternative they would like to research. Class time is divided between lecture and discussion time, and Oliver will teach a method of conducting the research. Each participant will use a combination of resources both real—books in the room—and virtual—on-line resources via computer—to conduct research. Participants are encouraged to bring a computer with wireless capacity. The workshop concludes with a cooking afternoon to test your recipe on the final day in the 1786 kitchen at the Visitor Center at Hall Tavern. The all-inclusive registration fee includes course materials, meals and four nights (Sunday-Thursday) lodging at the Deerfield Inn.

Thank you, Sandie, for posting this! The workshop last year was so fun. It was a real eye-opener for us here to figure out one of the mysterious pies we have mentioned in a letter from the 1790s. You helped us figure out with your own research that “our” pie was made with a raised hot water crust!
Oh, how I would love to attend this, but I already have commitments at Burritt on the Mountain!
