Our Northwest Youth Corps intern, Jade, demonstrates how Klondike stampeders would have made their coffee. This is the first in a series of five videos demonstrating some of the food Klondike stampeders would have cooked and eaten on the way to the gold fields.
Following in the footsteps of gold rush stampeders, the park’s Northwest Youth Corps intern Jade makes nettle soup in preparation for a (metaphorical) journey over the Chilkoot Pass - from the comfort of the city.
Sourdough is the food most associated with gold rush stampeders. The park’s Northwest Youth Corps intern Jade makes sourdough starter and tries it out in flapjacks. This is part of a video series demonstrating some of the food gold seekers would have cooked and eaten on the way to the Klondike gold fields.
And for dessert . . .
Northwest Youth Corps intern Jade concludes the Klondike Kitchen series by making anchor pudding while reflecting on how we understand history.
In today’s video, Northwest Youth Corps intern Jade cooks a dish plucked straight from the pages of a Jack London novel, while discussing the role women played in the Klondike Gold Rush.
