Historical Hearth Cooks Demonstration
September 12, 2026
10am - 2pm
The cooking demo for September will focus on the cucumber. Though it is classified as a fruit, it
is generally served as a vegetable. During the 18th century, it was often served stewed, cooked
or ragooed.
We are going to make a Forced - Meat cucumber, stewed cucumbers and a cucumber dish
called Mandrang. Of course, pickles are a must!
