Modern Takes on Historical Recipes

Food and drink have been methods of connecting people and sharing culture across time and place. And related to that role food and drink play, taste and smell are some of the most powerful triggers of memory. It’s no wonder, then, that food and drink play an important role in the holiday traditions of so many people.

This year many of us have been spending a lot more time at home -- and in our kitchens, trying out new recipes and cocktails. This month, we gave a go at trying to recreate what 18th century members of King's Chapel may have tasted over the holidays.

You can also try with the recipes we used below!
