The 24th Lowell Folk Festival <\/a>will feature\u00a0cooking demonstrations\u00a0in the Folk Craft and Foodways area of\u00a0Lucy Larcom Park and a chance to buy a variety of\u00a0ethnic\u00a0cuisine at three performance stage areas.<\/p>\n

This year “Foodways”\u00a0looks at how beans are prepared in several cultures. Often called the “poor man’s meat,” beans are rich in protein and have long been the traditional Saturday night supper in New England. Native Americans introduced slowly cooked beans to early settlers, and like many foodways, recipes were adopted and transformed by immigrants who added their own traditions and ingredients. Folklorists Millie Rahn and\u00a0Maggie Holtzberg have connected with five cultural representatives, who will share their insights with the audience. Festival visitors are invited to sit down and watch how this simple legume can take on such different flavors. Ask questions. And be sure to sample the beans made by our various cooks —<\/p>\n
