Hartshorn-dale’s cooking group, called “Dining with Lorenzo,” is dedicated to historically accurate high quality cuisine. “Dining with Lorenzo” was the first of several events centered on a single recipe manuscript (of a particular time & place) and of a single season, and when the cooks continued experimenting with period recipes, the name stuck. We have also cooked for other events, including Harts and Horns.

When: The group typically meets once a month. Please see the calendar for more details.

Communications: (changes or cancellations) will be announced via the Hartshorn-Dale email list, and also the Dining with Lorenzo email list. Please contact the webminister to join either (or both) email lists.

Where: The location varies, and announced on the email lists.
