Life in the Victorian Kitchen

For some reason my last post disappeared, but just to recap, late last year saw the publication of my fourth book Life in the Victorian Kitchen published by the lovely people at Pen and Sword books.

Have you ever wondered what life was like for domestic servants, the etiquette involved during upper class banquets, or simply wished for a glimpse of day-to-day life in the Victorian kitchen? During the nineteenth century,the kitchen was a place where culinary worlds collided, bridging the gap between social classes. From the rural cottage to the well-staffed country house, I aim to take readers on an entertaining and informative journey through a lost culinary world, uncovering the customs and traditions surrounding some of Britain's best loved dishes. Discover nineteenth century tips, techniques, stories and superstitions. Try your hand at foretelling the future using an egg or test recipes for everything from apple wine to sheep's head pie. Life in the Victorian Kitchen really is a fascinating place!
