Join Lewes Public Library in person and online for “A Culinary History of Southern Delaware!” Historic farms and waterways crisscross Southern Delaware, connecting its residents to a set of rich culinary traditions. The original Nanticoke inhabitants baked hearty johnnycakes and hunted wild game. Hungry for a taste of home, German settlers developed scrapple from local ingredients. Today’s home cooks and chefs draw their bounty from the land and sea for a distinct, seasonal cuisine. With recipes for regional favorites like beach plum jelly and chicken with slippery dumplings, author Denise Clemons will explore the diverse history of food in Southern Delaware.
