Victorian Kitchen: Luncheon

I think the best thing about these videos is that two of the presenters were actually in service and are talking about their own experiences. I suspect that today to find anything remotely similar you would have to get access to one of the Queens palaces.

Ruth Mott and Peter Thoday along with Harry Dodson show us what the Victorian used to eat for their lunch.

Pain de Campagne in the Dutch Oven

A detailed look at my method for producing a French Country Style loaf, Pain de Campagne, using the Dutch Oven to bake it much like the No Knead Bread method with a few differences and adjustments to insure that the heavier loaf gets the same oven spring that is achieved with the no knead method.

Free on the range.

Back to bare ground here and the girls are still enjoying their little treats in the fallen leaves. Getting colder everyday though, minus 5 this morning.

Early December Hoop House and Garden
