EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut illustration from the 17th century takes us back in time to a bustling Tudor kitchen. The print, titled "Kitchen Interiors" is part of A Book of Roxburghe Ballads, a collection of broadside ballads compiled by Robert Harley and later John Ker. Published in 1847 by John Payne Collier, this artwork offers a glimpse into the culinary world of yesteryears. The scene depicted showcases various activities taking place simultaneously. In one corner, we see distilling equipment set up for the creation of spirits and herbal remedies. Nearby, a meal is being prepared on an open fire while meat slowly roasts on a spit. Bakers are hard at work rolling pastry dough and tending to bread baking in ovens. The kitchen interior is filled with energy as cooks diligently go about their tasks. The aroma of food fills the air as preparations are made for an upcoming feast or perhaps daily sustenance for noble households. This woodcut transports us to an era where cooking was done over open fires and skilled hands crafted meals from scratch. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people took great care in preparing food with love and dedication. As we gaze upon this historic image, it sparks our imagination and appreciation for the artistry involved in creating nourishment for both body and soul.
