A Brief History of Baking
History
In light of all the baking we've been doing recently in the Queen's Hamlet, I found this article most interesting. I'll leave a little taste here and you can then sample the rest. It starts in the Middle Ages and goes to the 19th century ...
18th century
Cake making soars in popularity, but the industrial revolution from 1760 sees a return to more stodgy baked goods.
This was when cake making really took off, says Dr Pennell.
The Art of Cookery, written by Hannah Glasse and published in 1747, contained a catalogue of cake recipes.
Integral to this was the development of the semi-closed oven. The development of baking is as much to do with technology as it is taste.
Fast-forward to the industrial revolution and Britain sees a return to heavy baking, where the working class eats bread and jam, says Prof Walter.
But at Easter, Christmas and other seasonal occasions, a richer diet would be available to even the poorer members of society.
Merchants and shopkeepers can afford ovens, and to bake.

Hello Everyone!
Seems time is just flying by with lots of activity leaving little time to write.
We officially welcomed spring with our May Day Country Dance. Many thanks to everyone that helped to make it a great success!
The Adopt-A-Goat program is well & truly launched now that everyone who was interested has been provided with at least one breeding pair. We'll be switching over to Trade-A-Goat where goats from all our Hamlet breeders can be exchanged. Please post any trades (or free to a good home) in the link provided above.
A new Butchery has been added (just around from the Kitchen door) where you can turn your meat (goat or chicken) into sausages etc.
We can also Study Secret Knowledge at the desk in the Office. Papyrus & Candles can be purchased there as well. I'm trying out the Large Roasted Vulo with Stuffing. A complicated but satisfying recipe!
The Market is growing at a nice pace with both large stalls now rented and new items arriving daily
Those are the highlights!
Comments & questions are always welcome.
