The back of a Van years…

 

Many years ago, I was persuaded by the noted food Historian Peter Brears to come along with him to try some Tudor cooking.

​

Over the next few years Peter used me as part of his ‘team’ that toured the historic kitchens that he was working to bring back to life.

​

We cooked at Syon Park, Petworth House. Dryham Park and Harewood house.

Rotating between them all as the year went round. It was like being in a band without any of the fame or money.

​

It was, however, a great learning curve. Peter became a tutor, mentor and great friend.
