A Taste of Local History

Learn from Cuisine Historian Lavada Nahon about the day-to-day life of the farmers and their workers of the Lower Hudson Valley, many of whom were enslaved, with special attention to what they were eating and drinking, who was preparing it, and more.

A special take-out meal chosen by Nahon to accompany the presentation is based on recipes from historic cookbooks. The meal will be prepared by Hudson Market on Main at 5 N. Broadway for pick-up between 1p and 4p. The special historic menu: Spinach Tart, Potato Salad with farm fixings, Pickled vegetables, Pound Cake and Ginger Cookies

We encourage you to invite friends or family members to join your table for this unique historic combo Invite them to a little house party! (If youll be out of town, well arrange for your dinner to be delivered to someone local.)
