How much fun was Colonial Cooking? We had a blast! The recipes turned out great. The groups I worked with last week made Pine Tree Schillings for my family and everyone enjoyed them so much. I’m surprised we had any left to take home as the kids ate a lot while they were here. It’s interesting that we are able to replicate the same recipes used by settlers hundreds of years ago, and find that people still use them today. Most of the students were already familiar with the recipes and the ingredients. I learned a great deal about the food and culture of the colonial time period and walked away with a greater appreciation for the people who lived and cooked as they settled this area years ago. Thanks goes out to all of the children from the Chairville Outdoor Club for making the experience AWESOME!
