Step back into summer of 1908 in a small town enlivened by vaudeville and a young unknown actor named Buster Keaton. For our first book club meeting of the new school year, families will discuss this lush graphic novel with author Matt Phelan and learn about his writing and drawing process first-hand.

Food has appeared in art for centuries, and food that is prepared and presented artistically is all the rage today. In this program, participants will visit the galleries to see how food and art collided during the 19th and 20th centuries. Then our group will move to the classrooms to experiment with molecular gastronomy, a new and highly artistic way of approaching food. Want to learn how to make carrot “caviar” and gelified noodles? Well you will!

ABOUT SARAH LOHMAN

By the early 1600s, Dutch colonists’ tasty confections had become a New Amsterdam holiday tradition. Even when the city was renamed New York, these recipes lived on. Come learn how an 18th-century Dutch girl named Cornelia van Varick cooked classic New Year dishes. Using tools and ingredients common to her kitchen, including sugar cones and nippers, Dutch ovens, as well as mortars and pestles, we’ll make two delicious desserts. Participants will prepare orange caraway cookies and fried doughnuts. Don’t worry—there will be plenty to take home and share!
