Most of us have old family recipes baked into our memories, but sometimes the origins of those recipes get lost in time. This baking class, co-hosted by the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office and the Baker Free Library,, just over Concord's border in Bow, will inspire viewers to “bake history” and explore their roots.
The class kicks off with a brief presentation by New Hampshire State Archivist Ashley Miller and New Hampshire State Registrar & Vital Records Director Kristin Kenniston. Ashley and Kristin, whose departments fall under the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s Office, describe the origins and family history behind the recipe and provide participants with information on how they can research their genealogy. After the presentation, Amelia Holdsworth of Baker Free Library guided participants through an old recipe for “Hot Water Cake” with chocolate frosting, along with some alternatives in the weather's too hot for frosting. - - - - - Video produced by ConcordTV.
