I offer online courses and in-person cookery classes where you learn to cook food that Jane Austen or your great-great-grandmother might have eaten. And you'll learn the history behind the dishes too. As the Regency Cook, I can be your guide as we rediscover long-forgotten recipes from the early 1800s together.
