It’s publication day!
I’ll be celebrating with a slice of Sachertorte. I had so much fun writing this book for @BL_Publishing
If you love history & chocolate (or know of someone who does ) this is a great gift for Crimbo - a mere snip at just £10!

It was a joy chatting to @mrssbilton about my book Fodder & Drincan: Anglo-Saxon Culinary History. Dismissing the 'dark ages' and chatting all things early medieval food. Sam's podcast is a real treat.

In the latest episode of the Comfortably Hungry podcast I chat to @MuseumofKitchen about her wonderful book Fodder & Drincan and why the 'dark ages' really aren't that gloomy.
