A wooden plate photographed against the background of a white tablecloth. In it lies is a chicken leg, visibly stewed rather than roast, in a yellow, opaque sauce. The plate is decorated with a fresh slice of lemon (the recipe specifies using the cooked ones, but they were too shredded by cooking). An embroidered napkin lies to the left.

Finally, my time allowed for more #historiccookery. Today, I tried chickens in a wine-lemon sauce from a 1547 recipe.

A wood fire with glowing embers and two blackened parcels of dough. There are also three earthenware cooking pots in the bed of ash.

View down a corridor in a Tudor house with beams in the walls and diamond panes. Shafts of sunlight from the windows lay diagonally across the picture.
