Welcome

I hope you find what you need. Drop me line if you spot any errors, or have any bright ideas. Or, of course, if you want to talk further on matters foodie.

I’m a PhD researcher at the University of York (transferring to Liverpool from August 1st), specialising in historic food and dining and all things related. As a historical archaeologist, I concentrate on the period after c.1600, withy my thesis currently looking in detail at the period c.1750-1900. For more details of my current research areas and themes, see research.

I also have an alternative, yet closely linked existence as a costumed interpreter, predominantly freelance for Past Pleasures, the largest supplier of costumed interpretation in the UK. For more information of my work in this area, see Interpretation.
