Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department’s Prairie Park Nature Center is hosting a program exploring ways to cook with an old-fashioned Dutch oven.
Dutch Oven Cooking provides participants ages seven years-old and older with an experience to explore some favorite camping recipes for those that wish to master the old-fashioned Dutch oven. Dutch oven cooking is a favorite of campers who want to make their meal in a fire pit. Participants will learn to make biscuits, bread stews, and other delicious dishes with this historic skill.
This program will be held 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28, at Prairie Park Nature Center, 2730 Harper St. Children under 16 years-old must be accompanied by a registered adult. Cost is $15 per participant.
