Shaker Cooking: Zoom Class with Sylvia Becker to Benefit Shaker Museum

Shaker food is known to be simple and wholesome, but it was much more than that. As a cuisine, Shaker cooks explored flavors in ways that many might consider modern today. The Shakers had a great impact on American food through the excellent seeds they produced and sold, important improvements to the canning and preserving process, and growing herbs for culinary and medicinal purposes. In this special on-line cooking class benefiting Shaker Museum, Chef Sylvia Becker will explore two Shaker dishes ideal for spring and early summer cooking…

– Roast Spring Chicken with Tarragon Butter

– Radish Cream Soup with Fresh Dill.

Participants may cook with us at home, or simply watch and take notes to make these dishes later. It’s up to you! Once registered you’ll receive a confirmation email with links to the recipes and a helpful guide to prepping before the class.

Join us in celebration of wholesome and delicious food through the lens of the Shakers. Net proceeds will benefit Shaker Museum.

Important information: As soon as you are registered for this class you will receive a confirmation email that includes a link to recipes as well as a link to Zoom to join us at the scheduled time. If you choose to be hands-on with us (and we hope you do!) the class prep instructions and equipment you will need will be in the recipes. You may want an extra pair of hands if you are cooking along with us, so feel free to have a friend or family member work as your sous chef in your own kitchen. If you prefer to sit back and watch the class and take notes, that’s fine too! In either case we suggest printing up the recipe(s) well in advance of the class.
