ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Susan B. Anthony House is hosting its Tour and Cooking Class on Saturday, aiming to explore the food and history of the suffrage era.
The cooking class was at The Commissary, and a museum tour and dessert are expected to follow at the house. Participants learned how Susan B. Anthony’s 1898 sponge cake was made.
Renee Nastri-Windisch, chef-owner of Cassis Culinary, talked about the story behind the making of a sponge cake, including that it was Anthony’s favorite dessert. “So I am working in collaboration with the Susan B. Anthony House for this very special menu. So I’ve been researching suffrage-era cooking, and in doing that, I went right to the Susan B. Anthony House, and they were really welcoming and shared a recipe with me from a letter that Susan B. Anthony wrote to college students. It was a draft letter, on how to make her favorite sponge cake,” she said.
She also mentioned that the recipe for the cake didn’t have measurements back then. So, Nastri-Windisch reconstructed the cake.
The classes also featured dishes from Hattie A. Burr’s 1886 book called, “The Woman Sufferage Cook Book.”
The cooking class went from 1:30 p.m. until 4 p.m. and the tour goes from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.
