As many of you know, the novel I’m working on has flashbacks from Tudor times, and some characters come from that Era. I have a ton of notes of stuff which didn’t make it into the book and it’s customary for me to do a daily post throughout December, leading up to Christmas, so this year I thought I’d be naughty and give you a recipe a day. A couple of them will be a throwback from last year, but most of them are taken from three main sources:
- Alison Weir and Siobhan Clarke’s A Tudor Christmas;
- Terry Breverton‘s The Tudor Cookbook: From Gilded Peacock to Calves Feet Pie;
- Brigitte Webster‘s Eating with the Tudors: Food and Recipes;
- Peter C.D. Brears‘ Tudor Cookery: Recipes and History;
- an Italian book on medieval cooking.
Though I can’t guarantee consistency, I’ll try to balance recipes with stories and references, and make sure you have a whole menu should you wish to go medieval on your family’s ass this Christmas. Stuff will be published here and on the Patreon.
