Step back into the Georgian era and explore the fascinating origins of some of Derbyshire’s most famous — and nearly forgotten — puddings. From how these traditional treats came to be, to how they evolved over time, this event offers a unique window into the culinary past.
Leading the session is Mark Dawson, a historian specializing in the history of food and drink in the early modern period. Unlike traditional food histories that focus mainly on printed cookbooks and the habits of the wealthy, Mark’s research digs deeper — drawing from the documentary evidence of everyday life to reveal what was really happening in the kitchens and households of ordinary people.
