Extensive menus featuring rich, appealing foods were a key part of Gilded Age holiday celebrations. Thanksgiving and Christmas were typically the most carefully planned meals of the year for many families, with the season’s festivities extending into New Year’s Day and Twelfth Night (January 6). This class will highlight popular foods and traditions from the era to give students a taste of the Gilded Age, including samples of plum pudding and sugar plums (students will be able to make their own to take home). The Gilded Age Cookbook will be available for purchase at a discount - pre-order when you reserve your spot or buy a copy that day!

### Notes:

There is a $5 materials fee payable to the instructor.
