Step into the kitchen of the Regency Cook Paul Couchman as he displays dishes from the dining rooms of eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Britain at Christmas time. Recreated directly from historic recipes, this presentation features gingerbread, small Twelfth Night cakes, the whimsy that is Apple Snow, and a few other surprise recipes.
You may be tempted to recreate, for yourself, dishes that once graced the tables of Parson Woodforde and Jane Austen, or were eaten on the streets of London by James Boswell. Or you may simply wish to hear the history behind the recipes. All is good.
