Description
Join author John Ota as he shares his experiences of the culinary history, architecture, cooking methods and dishes from the first Thanksgiving of 1621. As part of the research for his book, The Kitchen, John travelled to Plymouth, Massachusetts where he cooked a meal over an open fire with Pilgrim Foodways historian Kathleen Wall. It's the 400th anniversary of the Harvest Feast joining the New England colonists and the Wampanoag people! Learn about 1621 recipes and truths and misconceptions about this favorite holiday occasion. Yes, there was turkey - but it was not the main event!
Presented by Carroll County Public Library in partnership with the Historical Society of Carroll County and Rudolph Girls Books.
