A typical day at Old York

At the Museums of Old York, we take hearth cooking very seriously

and we can be quite dangerous in the kitchen....

But we also have a lot of fun!

"We made an apple cake and molasses cookies today. It was pretty simple. For the apple cake, we used our hands to mix the batter and since we had apple sauce in it, it was....pretty disgusting!"
