Inspired by the fantastic new BBC TV series 'Victorian Farm' http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00gn2bl/Victorian_Farm_Episode_1/
I am starting some historical cooking.
My 1920s Mrs Beeton is a bit daunting and some of the food is just awful (Calf's head, turtles, parrots, blackbirds........) so I am starting with Elizabethan food from Elinor Fettiplace's Receipt Book. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Elinor-Fettiplaces-Receipt-Book-Elizabethan/dp/0140088288
Tonight chicken with gooseberry and herb sauce and an almond and date custard tart.
Might have to buy some more historical cookbooks too.....Eliza Acton is often bandied about.
