My clients come from all over the world. This is Philipp from Vienna, a regular attendant who has just finished off 'jagging' the crinkumcranks on the rim of Daniel Welstead's eighteenth century apple pie


Most of my courses cover the vast, unfathmable depths of British period cookery, but I also have a working interest in the early modern Italian kitchen. This is a loin of veal roasted in an original sixteenth century cradle spit and cooked according to a recipe from Bartolomeo Scappi (1570). The joint is spiked with sage, drenched in malvasia wine, sapa and agresto and roasted over ember-roast onions, prunes, rose vinegar and more malvasia. Amazingly delicious!
