Chesapeake Farm & Bay to Table Takes ‘A Visit Down Memory Lane’ During the September 14 Episode
Explore favorite foods that bring back memories of the Maryland State Fair
Belcamp, Md., August 17, 2022 — “A Visit Down Memory Lane” is the theme of the September 14 episode of “Chesapeake Farm & Bay to Table.” This popular virtual cooking series is produced by Harford County Public Library and Chef John Shields’ Our Common Table and highlights Maryland farms, fisheries and local businesses. The program will be presented via Zoom from 7 to 8 p.m.
Food has the universal power to connect us to our fondest memories and traditions. For most Marylanders, that includes a trip to the Maryland State Fair. Join Library CEO Mary Hastler, Chef John and Shelley Howell, author of Dining Down Memory Lane Volumes I and II, as they visit the fairgrounds for a behind-the-scenes tour.
Back in the kitchen, they will cook up several recipes inspired by the state fair, including Hutzler’s potato chip cookies.
“Attending the Maryland State Fair each year brings back so many happy memories, particularly when it comes to foods that were entered in various categories for judging. Chef John, Shelley and I will bring those memories to life during this new episode,” said Hastler, CEO of Harford County Public Library.
