Join us for a ‘taste back in time’ as we explore the history and development of curry from its roots in Indian antiquity to its popularity in the early years of the republic, and its appearance today in many world cuisines. Professionally trained chef and Merchant’s House tour guide Carl Raymond will discuss how the savory stew might have appeared on the Tredwells’ dining table as well as share some recipes from 19th century cookbooks. The program will include demonstration of the making of essential spice mixes, and the preparation and tasting of two modern curry recipes. Wine will be served following the demonstration and the audience will be given a set of recipes to take home.
