Would you like to wow your guests this Christmas by serving them genuine Tudor dishes? Well, this is not as tricky as it may sound now that the Historic Royal Palaces has uploaded three wonderful cook-along videos filmed in Henry VIII’s kitchens at Hampton Court Palace.
The recipes are 500 years old but have been adapted just enough to make them accessible to our modern selves! You can also download the recipes and instructions as PDF’s from their website.
I think the videos are fabulous and am so happy that they have shared these authentic Tudor treasures with us!
The first recipe is an alternative to the Tudor mince pie, Ryschewys close and fryez:

The second recipe is a Tudor pork dish in gravy, Fylettys en Galentyne:

To find out more about Henry VIII’s kitchens at Hampton Court Palace or to download these wonderful recipes visit the HRP’s website here.
If you’re lucky enough to be visiting Hampton Court Palace in the next month you could always take part in the live Tudor cookery events where a team of history chefs prepare a Tudor feast fit for a king! Find out more here.
That was fun! Cooking is one of my other passions. I’ll just have to go visit the site and pick a recipe to try.
I had to giggle, though. We have a cooking show here in the US called “America’s Test Kitchen.” They have a segment where they test equipment, and I had possible scenarios for reviews of the knives playing in my head. 🙂
