17th Century game recipes


 

This new recipe section provides a glimpse into the world of 17th Century game cookery, as presented by Mrs Hannah Woolley. Hannah Woolley was born in 1623 and these recipes are taken from the book of her recipes entitled “The recipes of Hannah Woolley – English cookery” as edited by Matthew Hamlyn.

We recommend removing shot-damaged or bullet-damaged game meat before cooking to make the dish look more appetising and to avoid any lead contamination.
