Dinner and a movie go together perfectly especially when it's a foodie-film at the Lincoln followed by a cooking class at Gretchens Kitchenware store!
This fall the Lincoln and Gretchens will be presenting a monthly Film and Food Series. Come see a food-focused film at the Lincoln at 1pm, and then head to Gretchens Kitchenware store afterwards to eat and learn how to make food from the film!
The second film in the series, on Saturday, November 2nd, is the entertaining culinary comedy Babette's Feast. In 19th century Denmark, two adult sisters live in an isolated village with their father, who is the honored pastor of a small Protestant church that is almost a sect unto itself. Although they each are presented with a real opportunity to leave the village, the sisters choose to stay with their father, to serve to him and their church. After some years, a French woman refugee, Babette, arrives at their door, begs them to take her in, and commits herself to work for them as maid/housekeeper/cook. Sometime after their father dies, the sisters decide to hold a dinner to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth. Babette experiences unexpected good fortune and implores the sisters to allow her to take charge of the preparation of the meal. Although they are secretly concerned about what Babette, a Catholic and a foreigner, might do, the sisters allow her to go ahead. Babette then prepares the feast of a lifetime for the members of the tiny church and an important gentleman related to one of them.
After the film, movie-goers will head down the block to Gretchens Kitchenware store where you will learn to cook some of the dishes featured in the film at Gretchens after the film as our chef takes you through classic recipes.
