Festive Food through the Ages

Join us for a talk at Dr Johnson's House led by Emma Kay, founder of the Museum of Kitchenalia. You will be whisked on a magical tour of the festive food and eating habits of the residents of the London Shh homes, with demonstrations, audience participation and tastings to whet the appetite.

Together with London Shh.., join us for a mouth-watering and festive journey into Victorian and Georgian trends in food and explore eating and drinking ephemera. From William Morris's fascination with recipes to George Frideric Handel's doppelganger cook; the secrets surrounding London's small historic houses will be revealed using artefacts, images and a lot of Christmas cheer.

The London Shh properties can all be linked to the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and contribute to the narrative of food history in a number of ways.
