Step back in time to prepare simple baked goods using recipes from the 19th-century.  You’ll try out a variety of hearth-cooking techniques, with the help of historic Cook Demonstrator Julia Baird, in Nelles Manor’s original 230-year old open hearth fireplace.  You’ll also receive a tour of the museum, time to sit and enjoy the baked goods around the harvest table, and a booklet of recipes to take home.

Julia Baird is a Historical Interpreter who has worked in historic house museums with a culinary focus for a decade, using mid 19th-century recipes to cook, bake & preserve using an open hearth, brick oven and wood-fired range. You’ll find her Food History blog at www.juliabaird.com. Pre-registration is required. Please give us a call at 289-235-775 or visit the Eventbrite ticketing page to reserve your place.

Guests should also be advised that the kitchen may get warm during this workshop due to the open fire, so make sure you are comfortable handling the heat!
