Abstract:
Despite the outstanding culinary reputation of Moravian settlements, until recently, the restored Old Salem was devoid of examples of period foods and cooking techniques. With the opening of the restored 1800 Winkler Bakery, visitors to the area can once again enjoy Moravian specialties such as spicy sugar cakes and round, crusty, loaves of bread, hot out of a wood-fired oven. Additionally, the opening of the Salem Tavern Dining Rooms in a restored 1816 home now allows visitors to dine on authentic Moravian foods in the homelike atmosphere of the early 19th century.
