Southold

Historical Museum

You are invited to join us for the first lecture in our Winter Series, featuring the well-known North Fork Chef and Author John Ross. The event will take place on Thursday, February 15th at 4pm at the Southold Town Recreation Center.

——————

Ross will discuss “The Emergence of a True North Fork Cuisine”. He has been a professional chef since 1965 and was the chef/owner of Ross’ North Fork Restaurant in Southold, NY for 27 years. He is considered a pioneer of the Farm to Table movement. He cooked from scratch using local fresh ingredients procured from farm stands, seafood markets, and local wineries at a time when people were embracing convenience foods. He is the author of several books, “The Poetry of Cooking”, “The Food and Wine of the North Fork”, and “The Story of North Fork Wine”.

sponsored by Poliwoda Team of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Unknown skater, circa 1900. From the Frank Hartley Collection. The cold weather brings thoughts of winter fun. This young skater has found a way to skate with less work – Let the wind do all the work!

Ice Kite Skaters use a large triangular kite to propel themselves across frozen surfaces. The combination of the kite along with the slick surface enables users to go much faster than the speed of the wind. Ice kite skaters can speed up or slow down by angling the kite into or away from the wind, similar to sailing a boat.
