Everything But The Squeak Week at Audley End Hosue And Gardens
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
Experience the sights, sounds and smells of Victorian cookery this February half-term, as Audley End House and Gardens invites families to come and see how a country house cooked with pork in the 1880’s during ‘Everything But the Squeak Week’. Visitors can watch Mrs Avis Crocombe – the resident cook at Audley End – working on an entire pig in the Audley End kitchens, and cooking her way through parts that we are all familiar with, and some parts we aren’t! From trotters to snouts, animals were devoured entirely during Victorian Times. Using authentic Victorian recipes, Mrs Crocombe and her team will re-create historical dishes that would have regularly featured on the menu in times gone by, and demonstrate how even in aristocratic households no food was put to waste.
