Garden to Table: Sugar and Spice at Whitehorne House
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 | 6:00 pm - 8:00 pmGet Directions » to Whitehorne House
Savor flavors inspired by the maritime world of the 1800s. Samuel Whitehorne traded goods such as rum, gin, spices, and chocolate while his wife Elizabeth turned these ingredients into sweet desserts (found in her hand-written recipe book). Their backyard had fruit trees, now a beautiful garden setting where you will enjoy an array of gelati from Cold Fusion inspired by fruits of the garden and flavors from around the globe. Asterisk will provide a variety of cocktail concoctions that evoke Newport's historic involvement in the rum trade. The first floor of the house will also be open for self-guided tours.
