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 Victorian Cakes written by Caroline B. King and published by . This book was released on 1941 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If the Victorian age conjures anything to the modern reader it is its bounteous larder, and its bustling kitchens, abundant with foods of all types. Much of the nostalgia for this era of plenty centers about the overladen dinner tables with their carefully -- and often elaborately -- prepared quantities of delicious viands. Yet the secret of preparation of these dishes has almost disappeared. The pastries especially, have become almost legendary, though this period could truly be called the Era of Fine Cakes. It is a pleasure to be reintroduced to these Victorian masterpieces -- especially when brought back to us with all the quaint atmosphere of their age in the pages of Victorian Cakes. Vanity Cake, Harlequin Cake, Dream Gingerbread, Hickory Nut Loaf -- what memories they bring of that bygone day when a cake was an important occasion rather than a machine-mixed whimsy! The author of Victorian Cakes seems to have realized that the recipes for these cakes taken completely from their fin de siècle setting would be formidable to the kitchen enthusiast of today. But introducing them together with old-fashioned picknicking, horse-and-buggy drives, and discreet "parlor" entertainments she has made them more than cakes -- she has made them a charming part of history itself. To anyone who believes that one should eat good cakes if he eats cakes at all this book will be a guide to many pleasant experiences"--Book jacket.
