Agawam Historical Society hosts 18th century cooking reenactment
AGAWAM, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) - In Agawam’s Feeding Hills, historians shared what it was like 250 years ago before you could turn up the heat for the winter. People gathered to watch open hearth cooking demonstrations at the Thomas Smith House before it closes for the season. Officials there wanted to educate the public about what life was like in the 18th Century, “it’s a wealth of information. All the practices from the colonial era of food preservation, food preparation, and just the stories that accompany all of it,” said Agawam Historical Society President David Cecchi, “it’s an amazing education, so we’re happy that we can do this for the public.”

Truffle flavors range from dark chocolate mousse, salted caramel, and maple pecan to elderberry, mulled cider, blueberry cheesecake, and Earl Grey coffee break. “Truffles are my passion, and that is what my main emphasis is,” said owner Tarah Warner, a professional chocolatier. “But I have other goodies and will be expanding the selection over time,” including specialty products for the holidays.
