LLCC Community Education is partnering with the Lincoln Home National Historic Site this summer to present “History Cooks: Food of Lincoln’s Springfield,” a series of cooking demonstrations of dishes from President Lincoln’s time.

The public is invited to the Lincoln Home every Friday afternoon at 1 p.m., June 3-Aug. 5, to learn from LLCC culinary staff and local chefs. Everyone attending will receive a souvenir recipe card so they can re-create the tasty dishes at home.

This Friday, July 8, Howard Seidel, LLCC adjunct culinary instructor, will demonstrate fricasseed chicken, a favorite dish of Abraham Lincoln.

History Cooks is part of the 13th Annual History Comes Alive program. Read more.
