Open Hearth Cooking Program

The Open Hearth Cooking program at Historic Deerfield interprets 18^th- and early 19^th-century foodways in a series of annual offerings. The open-hearth cooking interpreters offer Saturday cooking demonstrations in Spring, early Summer, and Fall that focus on seasonal foods, food preservation, the Cooks’ Garden, and topics related to food history.  For a history of the Open Hearth Cooking Program, click here to view a copy of “All Fired Up! Celebrating 20 Years of Hearth Cooking at Historic Deerfield.”

In addition to demonstrations, Open Hearth Cooking Classes are held throughout the year. Open-Hearth Cooking is also featured in Tavern Night dinners, and our 18th-Century Deerfield school program for elementary-aged schoolchildren.

Winter 2012 Open Hearth Cooking Classes Schedule and Registration are now available.
