Join Amanda Harrison* for an interactive workshop dedicated to menu preparation for canoe trips. In the Canoe Museum kitchen, we will prepare delicious roasted eggplant baba ghanouj. We will learn how to make cous cous stuffed bell peppers that can also be prepared over hot coals of a fire. Next, we will make some za’atar (middle eastern spice) and yogurt marinated chicken skewers and homemade pita bread. For dessert, how about peanut butter and chocolate truffles? We will travel to the picnic table within the museum itself, to sample all of our culinary creations, and share canoe trip stories.
