Cooking & Dining in Tudor & Early Stuart England

A companion book to Peter Brears' Medieval tomb. Detailed information and easy to read.

This book is a TROVE. Beautifully illustrated too.

This is great information and background on the cooking of the time. Be aware it’s a huge beast of a book and not practical to use as a cookbook on the countertop. I take a photo of the recipe with my phone to follow along.

This book gives a great overview of the kitchens in Tudor England, and not just for the royalty, the yeoman and farmer kitchens are included. There are some great recipes included to give you the real flavor of the period. I am looking forward to many hours of reading and cooking.
