History in the Kitchen - English Corn Bread

Join us for this session of History in the Kitchen to make English Corn Bread.
About this Event

This online series illuminates what kinds of food were eaten by different people in colonial Virginia. In January 2025 we'll be making English Corn Bread.

Every 45-minute class spotlights a dish eaten by one of the following groups: the Mason family; people enslaved at Gunston Hall; the white laborers, shopkeepers, and tenant farmers; and the peoples native to this land. Participants will learn how social class and wealth affected what food people had access to.

Kids and adults alike will have a great time learning history while cooking! This program is designed for families with kids 10-18, but is open to participants of all ages. All sessions are complimentary.
