My 2013 Food History Courses

An authentic Victorian Wedding Cake ornamented with gum paste motifs printed from original nineteenth century moulds . Make and decorate a cake like this on my Confectionery Course. This exanple was finished off in the manner of the day with hanging plumes of gum paste flowers.

For those of you who may be interested in attending one of my weekend cookery courses, I have now posted the course diary on my site Historic Food. You will find details of the courses and how to apply there. I have also published a course diary here with links to the details of each course. I have a lot of writing and television commitments in 2013, so will only be running eight courses. If you are interested, please let me know as soon as possible as places are limited. These courses are unique in the world and I am very proud of them. You could find yourself roasting a huge joint of venison with a clockwork spitjack, making the most extraordinary flummeries and jellies from an original eighteenth century mould or baking a spectacular Elizabethan or Victorian Pie. All courses are GB£300, which is amazing value as included in the price is all tuition, two lunches and a fantastic evening meal - all cooked by you of course! I have clients who regularly attend my courses who come all the way from Australia, New Zealand. Canada, the US, Japan and Europe. Many come back time and time again.
