Eighteenth Century Cookery - Historic Foodways Program

Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Foodways Program examines 18th-century cookery to learn about colonial lifestyles. The Foodways Program delves into every aspect of meal planning, ranging from procurement and preparation of foodstuffs to dining and preservation.

Colonial Williamsburg interpreters use 18th-century utensils and techniques for cooking demonstrations. Pictured above, Historic Foodways staff members at the Governor's Palace kitchen prepare delicacies that would have been served to the royal governor.
