We Had No Idea How This Recipe Would Turn Out
Today we try something we’ve never done before. We picked a random recipe out of a cookbook without testing to see if it would work, and gave it a shot. This is a recipe for “pindents” from “The Whole Body of Cookery Dissected” by William Rabisha. Let’s see how this turns out!

A Delicious “Boiled Trout”
Michael Dragoo is back in the kitchen and he has brought a wonderful recipe from Martha Washington’s “Booke of Cookery” (annotated by Karen Hess). This “boiled trout” dish is actually poached rather than boiled, so it takes only minutes to prepare. This recipe is so delicious, it will likely find it’s way into our top ten favorites! We highly recommend you try this one!

A Delicious Lamb in a Blanket

Posted by Ryan Kerr


A Delicious Lamb in a Blanket
“Pig in a blanket” is a familiar term to many, possibly conjuring memories of childhood. Here’s a more refined recipe by a similar name from Ann Cook’s 1755 cookbook, “Professed Cookery.” This dish exemplifies 18th century cuisine. Elsewhere in the cookbook, it’s suggested that this dish could be baked, but the author recommends boiling because it was far too inefficient to bring the wood-fired oven up to temperature. If you want the authentic version, boil it. For a more modern take, bake it. Either way, it’s quite delicious!

A Wonderful “Twelfth Night” Cake!

Posted by Ryan Kerr


A Wonderful “Twelfth Night” Cake!
Jon and Kevin are in the kitchen today making a big recipe: a 5-lb. twelfth cake. Twelfth cakes were the center attraction to Twelfth Night celebrations. They are easily documentable in 18th century texts, but interestingly, recipes do not appear in cookbooks until the early 19th century. So for this episode, in the absence of 18th century recipes specifically called “twelfth cake,”Jon and Kevin chose another “great cake” recipe called “Bride’s Cake.” It’s virtually identical in ingredients and technique to the twelfth cake recipes of the early 1800s. Today’s recipe comes from Richard Brigg’s 1788 cookbook, “The English Art of Cookery.” It’s a wonderful, complex cake that is perfect for a traditional holiday dessert. Enjoy!
