Exhibition: Regency ’Celebrity’ Cookbooks
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
A selection of Regency cookbooks from the collection at the Guildhall Library. The late 18th and early 19th centuries saw a dramatic increase in the number of cookbooks published, particularly those by cooks who had become famous through their shops and public houses, or chefs who had been employed either by aristocracy or in the royal household. The fashion for confectionery, influenced by Italian immigrant chefs, grew throughout the period with men such as Jarrin, Nutt and Gunter also becoming famous through their City and West End confectionery shops.
Keats House is open from Friday to Sunday, 1pm to 5pm. Free with a ticket to the house (£5, £3 concessions, valid for one year).
Keats House, Keats Grove, Hampstead London NW3 2RR
