Reviving The Lost Arts

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012


Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers didn’t “add water and stir”, “heat and serve”, “refrigerate after opening” or “microwave on high.”  They kneaded, proved, rolled, pulled, punched, let sit, canned, baked, simmered, tapped and boiled.

Join us as we celebrate our Ladies of Elgin as they share some of their finest tips and techniques. You’ll love being able to say, “I made it from scratch!”

Baking bread, biscuits and buns, making pie crusts and filling from scratch, making soup stock, preparing jams, jellies and preserves, decorating cake and the fine-art of chocolate—we’ve brought a barn and a bank back to life and we’re bringing these Lost Arts back to life too.

We revel in new recipes and cooking styles, but there’s something particularly special about good old-fashioned recipes, handed down from generation to generation.

We experience something magical when we say: “This recipe was my grandmother’s. She taught my mother and my mother taught me.”

Make it a tradition—join us with your sisters, mom or girlfriends for a night that will connect you to your roots, to your own story.
