MARYLAND DAY EVENT: MARCH 24, 2018
In 2018, I was privileged to be asked to help create this event celebrating Maryland’s food traditions. Working with a fantastic committee and local chefs, a menu rich in Maryland’s historic culinary traditions was crafted and served to scores of patrons.
I also worked with MDHS staff to create a mini-exhibition of Maryland foodways traditions (see photos above).
