On Saturday, June 7 from 9:30 am – 2:00 pm, Hanford Mills Museum is offering a hand-on workshop using the Royal Bride wood-fired cook stove in the John Hanford Farmhouse. The workshop, led by Pamela Cooley, will use recipes and techniques popular in the 1920s. Participants will learn how to prepare cookies, cakes and steamed pudding. When all is ready they will have lunch in the house’s dining room.
Pamela Cooley has been cooking on wood cook stoves for over 18 years, and frequently demonstrates at Hanford Mills, where she has been named Volunteer of the Year. She also has demonstrated open hearth and bake oven cooking at Genesee Country Village and Museum, Peter Wentz Farmstead, Eastfield Village, Landis Valley Museum, The Farmers’ Museum, and Old Sturbridge Village.
The cost for the workshop, which is open to adults and teens, is $45 for Museum members, $55 for non-members. Register by May 30 online www.hanfordmills.org or by calling 607.278.5744. Additional Royal Bride workshops will be held September 20 and October 18.
