Join us tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. as we step back in time and bake a delicious Applesauce Cake from a wartime cookbook!

Apples were a staple crop in Simcoe County’s orchards and were commonly grown in home Victory Gardens during the Second World War. Affordable, versatile, and locally available, they were an important ingredient for families looking to make the most of rationed supplies—making them the perfect addition to wartime baking.

Come discover how home cooks blended creativity and resourcefulness in the kitchen while enjoying a taste of history. We can't wait to bake with you!
