Angel Wings: Children’s Workshop on Convent Sweets

Sweet Museum: activity programme of the Museum of Angra do Heroísmo for Easter
MAH Auditorium | 1 April, 2:30 pm

In convents, egg whites were used for starching clothes, clarifying wine, and making communion wafers. The leftover yolks, when wisely and timely combined with the sugar that began arriving from Brazil around the sixteenth century, gave rise to numerous conventual sweets, often named after religious experiences: Papos de Anjo, Barrigas de Freira, Pão de Rala, for example.

If you enjoy cooking and sweets, Chef Raul Sousa, instructor at the Praia da Vitória Vocational School, will guide you through the delicious secrets of convent recipes in this children’s workshop, organised by the Educational Service of the Museum of Angra do Heroísmo.

Free participation, limited to 20 children.
