Eating with the Tudors - Dietary Changes from Henry VII to Elizabeth I Brigitte Websters' historic culinary talk will deliver a taste of what influenced the choice in food that the Tudors ate, how, when and why!

Perhaps of interest and worthy of pencilling into your diary: my talk #EatingwiththeTudors in Bury St Edmunds on Thursday 4th June 2026. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/eating-wit...

Seeing my book #EatingWithTheTudors on people’s book shelves is an instant ‘pick me up’. Where else in the world has my book made it?

#Quince is still a seasonal fruit & only available in the autumn. However, quince pies often feature in summer feasts & the only quince Tudor cooks would have had access to then was preserved fruit. So getting ready for authentic Tudor summer feasts in 2026 starts NOW. #eatingwiththetudors

Looks like it’s going to be a #quince marmalade production kind of a weekend! #EatingWithTheTudors

‘Sowre cherys’, according to one Tudor physician, were considered ‘cold and moist’ if eaten fresh, making them the ideal corrective food on a hot summer’s day. I tried these but decided it simply cannot be hot enough to enjoy these raw and turned them into ‘holsom’ jam instead. #eatingwiththetudors
