ABOUT THE EVENT / PROMOTION

Indigenous Cooking Workshop at Dundurn Castle

Join Mohawk Chef Tawnya Brant in the Dundurn Castle kitchen for a hands-on experience preparing a harvest meal bursting with nutritious gifts. The eclectic menu includes recipes with game meat and local harvests of corn, squash and wild rice. We’ll set a harvest table and dine together sharing ancestral knowledge about harvest traditions and celebrations surrounding the fall equinox, a busy time on the Haudenosaunee planting calendar.

Event Location

Once home to Sir Allan Napier MacNab, railway magnate, lawyer and Premier of the United Canadas (1854-1856) and his family, today Dundurn Castle tells the story of the family who lived above stairs and the servants who lived and worked below stairs to support their affluent lifestyle. Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall is the museum’s Patron and the great, great, great granddaughter of Sir Allan MacNab.

William Reid was Sir Allan’s gardener for over 25 years. Explore the lovingly restored two-acre Historic Kitchen Garden where costumed staff grow over 200 heirloom varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers for use in the historic kitchen. Open mid-May through mid-October. Enjoy free garden tours in July and August.

The 1870’s Coach House is home to The Castle Shop featuring a variety of Canadian handmade crafts, souvenirs and special gifts.
