The focus of this past week’s Fireside Feasts historic cooking workshop out at Wyckoff was the Mighty Vegetable. We made four delectable “Garden Goodies” dishes using cucumbers and carrots (sorry, no Sandwich!) that I’d bought at the GAP Farmer’s Market, along with tomatoes and beans picked fresh off the vines in the Museum’s garden. Oh, [...]

First, there are lots of beans ready to be harvested out at Wyckoff. Second, I know there are quite a few eggs leftover from last week’s “Cakes” session. Put ‘em together (with a few other ingredients, of course) and TA-DA!, we have the makings of a bean tansey. HUZZAH! Okay, we’ll add that to the [...]

The temperature at noon was 86, with some extra humidity thrown in for a bit of steam. Predictions are that we’ll be at, if not above, 90 by day’s end, and we haven’t seen that around here since April 28 (summer in spring, anyone?!) Ultimately, if all plays out as everyone thinks, this will be [...]

You never know what you’re going to get when publicity is sent out for a program or event. I received some great coverage this summer for my Fireside Feasts historic cooking workshops over at the Wyckoff Farmhouse Museum.

I’ve always known that strawberries, black raspberries, and such can be found growing in a small patch of ground out at Wyckoff. However, what I didn’t know, at least until yesterday, is that there are currants, as well. Surprise, surprise! And now I have another goodie to use in my historic cooking programs. HUZZAH! According [...]
“Let them eat cake” re-scheduled

As many of you probably know, the July 23rd session of the Fireside Feasts program out at Wyckoff was cancelled due to rain. Yes, ’tis one of the potential hazards of doing open-fire cooking outside. However, don’t despair, mes amis, for it has been re-scheduled for this coming Thursday, August 6. The theme is still [...]
um, “Sandwich carrots”?
