Colonial Kitchen Soiree

Food stations will be strategically laid out throughout the museum grounds. We are focusing on local cuisine from each culture, with food samples of each culture. Each table will have an ingredient card and the dish's history on the other side. Less common ingredients will be highlighted on the ingredient card. The tables will have a QR code for a feedback form and a physical form that can be filled out and turned in. We will have seed packets, plants, and cookbooks for sale on the individual stations. Specific cookbooks will be designated for each table depending on the dish served. This way, there will be a variety of cookbooks throughout the grounds and more items to look at and use as a talking point. If there are common ingredients, plants or seed packets will be for sale on designated tables depending on what is being served. Each table will have someone cook at each station while the food is sampled. Each station will demonstrate different cooking methods and equipment used by the various cultures from the area. Kids will have an interactive butter-making station. I am currently brainstorming other possible hands-on kids' activities.
