In 1788, Richard Briggs, sometime cook at the Globe Tavern, Fleet Street in London, published his cookery book. It was a lengthy tome: over 700 pages of recipes from a man who cooked, not in a palace, castle or stately home, but in the taverns of London. His cooking was managed in a small kitchen with limited equipment.
This lecture looks at the research undertaken to find out about the man, the cook and the taverns of London.
Speaker: Marc Meltonville FSA, consultant food and drink historian who researches and lectures on many diverse subjects across the UK and the world.
For over 25 years, Marc was the food historian for the Historic Royal Palaces, working on the Tudor kitchens at Hampton Court and the Georgian kitchens at Kew Palace, along with numerous other projects at further Royal residences.
