CLARISSA LYNCH
Food Historian, William Root House Museum & Garden
As a child, Clarissa would watch her grandmother cook on a wood burning stove. This was the start of her fascination with food history. When she's not educating visitors at the William Root House, she can be found demonstrating open-hearth and campfire cooking at local historic sites and battlefields. Her personal motto is: have pots - will travel. She's always willing to discuss recipes and cooking techniques with others and loves teaching the public about southern foodways.
