Soldiers of the Revolutionary War were supplied by their individual colony governments but they supplemented their diet with fresh vegetables and other necessaries supplied by "sutlers", merchants who followed the army and purchased produce from local farmers to sell to the soldiers--at a profit. We will look at the issued rations and recipes from soldiers who actually ate well on the march. Many of the recipes are English country food adapted for available ingredients. In this class, we will make a stew called "collops" made of thinly sliced beef with onions and herbs, ale bread, and sautéed greens. Instructor: Michael McComas
Wednesday, 6-9pm. May 1. The cost of tuition includes all food materials and fees.
This class will meet in-person at CCAE. Please view our In-Person Class Guidelines prior to enrolling.
