The smell of campfires, sizzling bacon, and simmering stews will greet visitors during “What’s Cooking?” at Fort Nisqually Living History Museum, June 15, 11am-5pm. This year, celebrity guest judge Dick Stein, co-host and producer of KPLU’s Food for Thought, will help select the winner of the event’s cooking competition and award the “Golden Skillet.” The Fort’s re-enactors will cook on a wood stove and over numerous campfires to prepare a variety of 19th century dishes.
