Dutch families in New Amsterdam were known for their delicious holiday confections – can you imagine all the good smells that would have come out of their kitchens? During this program, participants will take the place of Cornelia van Varick in her seventeenth-century kitchen as she prepares traditional food for the New Year. We’ll handle objects and ingredients that Cornelia would have had, such as sugar cones and nippers, Dutch ovens, and mortars and pestles.
