Dutch Oven Outdoor Cooking *

Join FPL and the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History to learn about outdoor cooking!

Judy Costello, Education Manager at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History, will demonstrate cooking in Dutch ovens and over an open fire. She will make a selection of fall menu items, including baked chicken, vegetable succotash, cornbread and apple cake with caramel glaze. Actual menu items will vary depending on availability of ingredients, cooking vessels and space around the fire. Samples will be available.

Judy grew up learning and living Southern history through her family’s exploration of Civil War battlefields, swimming holes, potential duck-hunting sites, and old cemeteries where ancestors were buried. Her education includes degrees in agricultural engineering from Auburn University and LSU. She moved to Fayetteville in the 1980s with her husband who is a professor at the University of Arkansas. She invested many years homeschooling her three children, all of whom are now UA graduates. Over twenty years ago, in the process of seeking hands-on learning opportunities for her students, she discovered the educational gem that is the Shiloh Museum. Interests include outdoor activities, working with children, and learning new things.
