Quaking Pudding & Cackling Farts!
Join us as we re-discover the tastes & techniques of 17th century cooking. Weekly check out our social media for our from the past series (July – August 2025) where we’ll post an original 17th Century recipe and challenge you to recreate it in your own kitchen.
Join The Fun!
With their bizarre ingredients, missing measurements, and directions only a “goode huswife” could follow, 17th century recipes are anything but simple. But don’t dismay! We make it easy for you to join in the fun.
Back at the Colony of Avalon’s 17th century kitchen, Lucille and Michelle(our Living History Interpreters) will be cooking right along with you. They’ll share their successes, failures and lessons learned via the Colony’s social media feeds and we’re hoping you’ll do the same. To spur you on, we’re offering a grand prize as well a bonus prize.
Prizes, Prizes and More Prizes
Please follow and share our weekly Colony Cook-off recipes and demos on our social media! Each share gets you another entry into our Grand Prize Draw. At the end of the cook off, we’ll put every entry in a hat (or butter pot) and randomly draw a grand prize winner! Cook and post all 6 recipes and you’ll be automatically entered to win our bonus prize!
And just to keep things interesting…. Each week as our collective skills and confidence grow, the recipes will get just a little bit harder. So what are you waiting for? On you marks, get set …. uhh … dewte on be eggys?
