Colonial Feasts From the Hearth
Elias
Child House has been the scene of countless wonderful meals since
the early 1700's. This tradition continues. Authentic recipes
are prepared on the hearth, in the beehive oven or reflector oven,
in bake kettles, soup pots or other cast iron cooking utensils.
The tastes are phenomenal.

Your
hostess, mistress MaryBeth, dressed in colonial garb, will share
recipes, cooking secrets or narratives from the 18th century.
Master Anthony always has a story to tell before the roaring fire
of the cooking hearth. Guests are encouraged to participate in
the preparation of the repast.
