Download or read book How To Cook The Victorian Way With Mrs Crocombe written by Annie Gray and published by September Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuous cookery book and the definitive guide to the life, times and tastes of the world's favourite Victorian cook Mrs Crocombe. As seen on English Heritage's The Victorian Way YouTube series. Mrs Crocombe is the star of English Heritage's wildly popular YouTube series, The Victorian Way. In delightful contrast to the high-octane hijinks of many YouTube celebrities, The Victorian Way offers viewers a gentle glimpse into a simpler time - an age when tea was sipped from porcelain, not from plastic cups; when mince pies were meaty and nothing was wasted; when puddings were in their pomp and no kitchen was complete without a cupboard full of copper pots and pans. Avis Crocombe really did exist. She was head cook at Audley End House in Essex from about 1878 to 1884. Although only a little is known about her life, her handwritten cookery book was passed down through her family for generations and rediscovered by a distant relative in 2009. It's a remarkable read, and from the familiar (ginger beer, custard and Christmas cake) to the fantastical (roast swan, preserved lettuce and fried tongue sandwiches), her recipes give us a wonderful window into a world of flavour from 140 years ago. How to Cook the Victorian Way is the definitive guide to the life, times and tastes of the world's favourite Victorian cook. The beautifully photographed book features fully tested and modernised recipes along with a transcription of Avis's original manuscript, plus insights into daily life at Audley End by Dr Annie Gray and Dr Andrew Hann, and a foreword by the face of Mrs Crocombe, Kathy Hipperson. It showcases the best recipes from Mrs Crocombe's own book, alongside others of the time, brought together so that every reader can put on their own Victorian meal. It's a moreish smorgasbord of social history an absolute must for fans, foodies and anyone with an appetite for the past. Please note this is a fixed-format ebook with colour images and may not be well-suited for older e-readers.

Download or read book Audley End written by Paul Drury and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built between about 1605 and 1614 by Thomas Howard, 1st Earl of Suffolk, Audley End was one of the greatest houses of Jacobean England. This immense ‘palace’ prompted James I to quip that, though it was ‘too big for a king … it might suit a Lord Treasurer’. The house gradually declined in scale over subsequent centuries, and was altered many times. Today, visitors to Audley End can see interiors and gardens reflecting its generations of owners.In the early 19th century the 3rd Lord Braybrooke and his wife created a nursery for their eight children on the top floor of the south wing. This revised second edition of the guidebook includes a new section on these rooms, now open to the public for the first time, as well as new features on the Braybrooke’s children and the original 19th-century dolls’ house. The re-dressed rooms of the 19th-century apartment are captured in atmospheric new site photography, and new features focus on Audley End’s impressive paintings and natural history collections.This fully revised guidebook offers a complete tour and history of Audley End house and gardens. A new reconstruction drawing of the Jacobean house helps visitors to visualise its original scale, and the story of the house and gardens is brought to life with new photography, historic images and contemporary eye-witness accounts.
