Introduction to Consultancy & Media

Food history is a growth area. It’s increasingly visible in the media, while the spaces of food preparation are now recognised as being a key part of the visitor experience for the country houses which are a major part our built heritage.

I have worked in heritage for over nine years and as a costumed interpreter since 2005. I am can be seen regularly in costume at the award-winning Audley End house (English Heritage), where I lead a team on behalf of Past Pleasures, the UK’s leading provider of costumed interpretation.

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 provide recipes, food or guidance on historic cookery for both heritage sites and the media.

I’ve made regular appearances for English Heritage promoting Audley End, as well as providing an ‘expert voice’ in my wider role as a food history expert.
