Consultancy
I am available as a consultant and researcher on all matters relating to post-medieval food and dining as well as on the use of live interpretation, in particular the interpretation of the spaces of food preparation and consumption.
I can also provide example ‘tried and tested’ recipes for use as educational tools or by interpreters – or I can provide the food itself.
Examples of my work include:
Research consultancy
Osborne House Kitchens Research Report for English Heritage: a full research report covering aspects of cooking and dining at Queen Victoria’s residence on the Isle of Wight. The report was designed to inform the potential interpretation and presentation of elements of the service wing, never before open to the public and currently in use as a storage facility.
Transcription and testing, with a view to publication, of a set of Victorian recipes donated to English Heritage and belonging to the 1880s cook at Audley End.
I am currently working with Past Pleasures on ways of integrating Georgian cooking and dining into site-based costumed work.
Training
A one day workshop to train costumed staff at Wimpole Hall, Cambs (NT).
