Recipes, Food and Cooking in Tudor England

Lord Cobham and his family dining c. 1567

Conner from Historical Foods has written an exclusive article for us here at On the Tudor Trail about Recipes, Food and Cooking in Tudor England.

It is brimming with those scrumptious facts about daily life that us Tudor aficionados love, describing, in detail, ingredients and recipes used in authentic Tudor cooking.

The article is meticulously researched, informative and entertaining and as though all this wasn’t enticing enough, Conner has gone the extra mile by translating an original Tudor strawberry tart recipe into modern terms including ingredients and method! I am committed to trialing this recipe in my own kitchen as I cannot resist strawberries. I might also add that strawberries were a favourite of King Henry VIII.
