The most wonderful compliment any cookery book author can receive is the evidence of its use by people across the globe. I am truly humbled by the evidence that all over this planet, people have taken to Tudor cookery! Thank you for sharing! #eatingwiththetudors @penandswordbooks.bsky.social

Onions in Tudor England were regarded as ‘gross’ or ‘crass’ without today’s connotation of disgusting but describing solid, sustaining food - ideal for the physically very active. #vegetarianfood #eatingwiththetudors @penandswordbooks.bsky.social

Tudor sauces are not thickened with flour, a French technique rejected by the English until the late C17. This one is unusual as it involves grapes and not the more common onions. #eatingwiththetudors p120 at Pen and Sword Books

Another #TimeCapsule event. Put together a 21st century Tudor themed box to go under the floorboards. Love the thought that in a few hundred years someone will get to have fun #eatingwiththetudors by tasting one of my tried and tested jumbals! 😂

Tonight I have been shown something truly unique and now I can claim, that #eatingwiththetudors is the only Tudor cookery book being used in miniature format in an amazingly detailed Tudor dolls house. @penandswordbooks.bsky.social

Damsons were the kind of fruit that commoners would gift to their monarch. In 1532 a poor woman received 3s 4d for bringing damsons to Woodstock for the king. They beautifully complement chicken in a pie. #eatingwiththetudors p123 Pen and Sword Books

Bacon was considered more suitable for the labouring class in Tudor England but there are indications that the middling class enjoyed it too. This recipe allows a glimpse into how bacon was used when it wasn’t an ingredient of pottage. #eatingwiththetudors p112 #bacon Pen and Sword Books

Wafers were made by confectioners using specific wafer irons. These imprinted and very crispy nibbles were often served with hippocras (spiced wine) at the end of a feast. #eatingwiththetudors #12thnight #wafers #feasting @penandswordbooks.bsky.social

Labelled as the ‘poore mans phisicke’ by Elizabethan physician Henry Butts, garlic was recommended for the aged in cold weather. This garlic sauce goes well with almost everything. #vegan #eatingwiththetudors p117 Pen & Sword Books
