A Taste of History for Teens – Soul Cakes

An adventure into recipes from the past! Teens will try their hand at making food items from different centuries and countries.
Some people say that soul cakes harken back to the time of the Druids; cakes were baked around the Samhain bonfire season, and used as part of a lottery. If you drew the one burnt cake in the pile, you got to be the human sacrifice for the coming year. In other tales, the soul cake was used as an offering to placate any angry ghosts who might be wandering around as the veil grew thin. Join us for this tasty treat.
Sign up for classes individually and if you have a food allergy please call the library and we can go over the ingredients to see if they can eat our finished product. This is one of five classes available this summer.
Registration required, please go to our online calendar.
