COOKING FOOD OF THE MOMENT, THEN AND NOW.

From intimate Victorian dining and Feast Day celebratory recipes, to authentic Medieval dishes and Tudor banquets, these are the journeys worthy of discovery. On Historical Foods we bring you wonderful period and regional foods for you to try out at home; some of these recipes are simple, with straightforward, down to earth cooking, and some are more elaborate dishes, with clean, bright flavours.

The sharing of a meal with other people, by the simple act of making a bowl of stew, or a home-made loaf of bread, has always had a many-layered meaning, suggesting an act of generosity, contentment and intimacy, which has been right at the heart of British cooking all through the ages: food of the moment, then and now.
