A bit about this project...
Susana is a passionate foodie. Her love for food is centred around experimenting with recipes and trying adventurous dishes (despite the student stereotypes!).
Yet, until this project she had never studied food history, therefore her MA Public History Final Project serves to combine her passion for food and her love for History, by choosing to specialise in Victorian Food.
This is a website that delves into the history and uses of some of the largest imports of Victorian Britain – spices, sugar and fruits. Including adapted nineteenth-century recipes from recipe books such as Mrs Beeton and popular published books from the Nigella's of the time, this website also serves as a virtual recipe book.
Video tutorials in the form of TikTok’s and Instagram Reels are also available for each recipe, so please, take an evening and cook along with us and lets make history!
If you give it a go let me know!
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!
Remember to follow us on Instagram to see the end results!
