So there is this charming set of videos from English Heritage called cooking the Victorian way, with a wonderful actress playing the part of the cook at one of their country house properties. The book is that she is using recipes written down by the person she portrays-Avis Crocombe. I got the book when it was offered, and it’s lovely-great pictures, sturdy binding, and along with the recipes in a redacted form for modern cooks they have included the original text, in a legible font, not a facsimile of the handwritten pages. I made the chocolate pudding and it’s fantastic! I plan to cook something else from this book soon. |

Oh, good to hear! We were just discussing maybe cooking from this cookbook for Christmas Eve 2022. One of our regular guest couples are Anglophiles and I think they'd get a kick out of it. |

Despite the bad rep English food has, I loved cooking from English cookbooks when I lived in England. I have still kept them after 40 years and still make my Yorkshire pudding from one of them. Since it will be only Steve and I maybe I'll make one of the recipes for Christmas. There was one called beef olives? which is basically thin steak around a filling that was soo good. I've never seen anything similar since. Enjoy your Victorian meal. |
