Food History-Hands On!

Working the Quern

Grating and Grinding

Yesterday at Howell Living History Farm, I was at the hearth with many hands helping!  This was a day of shelling corn, using a quern for grinding, sieving the flour, mashing pumpkin and grating and grinding spices.  The pumpkin corn cakes (a flatbread) were then fried in butter in a spider.  The quern is one of several programs that I do with school groups.   Visit my website at www.hearttohearthcookery.com
