Throughout 2012, Woodville Plantation will present a series of hands-on educational programs called Cookery Made Plain and Easy. Guests will have a unique opportunity to join our interpreters in the original Woodville kitchen to learn preparation, cooking and food presentation methods of the late 18th century. Using Hannah Glasse’s 1796 cookbook and other period resources, students will participate with the site’s interpretive cooking staff to prepare tasty and authentic 18th century dishes. The cost for each class is $20. Interested participants are asked to pre-pay and register by mail. Registration fees are non-refundable. Please call (412) 221-0348 to pre-register or if you have any questions.

Woodville Plantation will be closed for Easter on April 8, 2012.
