Beat the Heat the Old-Fashioned Way

Ice cream was as popular in early 19th century Maryland as it is today — a great way to beat the summer heat.

Join Joyce White, Food Historian, in the historic Hammond-Harwood House kitchen as she demonstrates how a copper sorbetiere (image below) was used to make ice cream. Attendees can try their hand at molding faux ice cream from Crayola Model Magic clay. (Modern-day vanilla ice cream will be served!)

Bonus: Cooking Maryland’s Way: Voices of a Diverse Cuisine, Joyce’s new companion history to the original Maryland’s Way Cook Book, will be available for pre-orders.
