Food historian Suzanne Corbett will be in period costume (see photo) on Saturday (12/15) at the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis, doing food demonstrations. This week, it’s Christmas 1820 with vintage recipes for plum pudding and gingerbread.
Her demonstrations are part of the historic holiday celebrations sponsored by the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial/National Parks Service.
Click on the “recipes” tab at the top of this page for Suzanne’s recipe for Pecan Pralines, a St Louis French colonial favorite made by early St. Louis cooks who used wild pecans from the thick groves that once grew along the riverfront, which replaced the almonds in the original French recipe.
This Saturday, December 8, our guests include Matt Sorrell who writes about food and drink for several local publications. We’ll talk about “Potent Potables,” to use the Jeopardy term for alcoholic beverages. Matt, by the way, has a great article on stocking your home bar in the December issue of Sauce magazine.
Also on Saturday, we’ll chat with Maggie and Bridget Kelly, who hosted “Food Talk with the Kelly Twins” on KTRS for ten years. They’ll be in studio to talk about their most recent exploits in the world of St. Louis eating and drinking.
Listen at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, on 590-the Fan, KFNS! Also streamed live on kfns.com.
