Archive Recipe Book
- 12th December 2018
| Worcestershire Archive and Archaeology Service has produced a recipe booklet from documents found with its collections. The book is available to buy from Level 2 of The Hive for £4.95 |
| The idea to produce a recipe books began some time ago when, as so often happens, someone found something funny or interesting held within the archives (often whilst looking for someone else). Remedies and recipes seem to turn up everywhere.
So we began to research, looking for attractive documents but also for recipes that people could try at home if they wanted to. We have wonderful and extensive family collections so began looking there. Staff thoroughly enjoyed the search and narrowing down the final selections. What looked good, what was actually doable and what made a good balance. We then launched an internal competition to come up with the name.
The primary objective, however, was to showcase the documents, rather than create a recipe book to rival Mary Berry!
A member of staff has already tested a few of the recipes and the Almond Jumballs were a particular success at our recent Explore Your Archive Launch event!
The result of the work is a beautifully produced booklet that would make an attractive gift for the history enthusiast. Come and visit us at The Hive on level 2 to take a look and perhaps buy your Secret Santa!
