We’re very excited to introduce our fabulous recipe testing volunteers – Charmaine, Margot and Paula, as part of our Eat your history heirloom recipe project. The team has been working their way through manuscript recipes from family collections at Meroogal and Rouse Hill House and Farm. We are trialing the recipes in their original form – using traditional ingredients and techniques and also modernised versions, better suited to the contemporary kitchens and appliances, and today’s tastes – suet and dripping aren’t always welcomed on the modern shopping list! Once perfected, we will publish the successful recipes on this blog and our website, so you too can enjoy a taste of history.
