About Me

Eventually I will write an “about me” page with some contact information & a little ego stroking about how great I am or something. In the meantime, I’d rather be working on these recipes so here is a photo of me in the Victorian Era.

What I do

Research

I have a BS in History with a focus on the social culture of foodways. I read historic cookbooks like literature and have a soft spot for humorous phrases used to describe food.

Living History

I’m passionate about first person interpretation and reaching for that golden ring of historical accuracy in every detail. I have reenacted for over 14 years, and have a closet of historical gear that spans from 1CE to 1950.

Cooking

One of my favorite ways to “level up” an impressions is through food. We all have to eat right? So why not make the effort to eat “right” for the era we are representing?


Want to follow me?

Wow, you’ve read this far? You should be following me on social media too, if you aren’t already. I promise, no spam except in 1940s recipes.
