The Fayre

By 1758, modern cooking techniques began to emerge with Sarah Phillip's ' The Ladies Handmaid' wherein she instructs cooks to use the minimum liquid and minimum cooking times for vegetables, sounding very modern. Artichokes and French beans were popular, as were cucumbers.  Many of the recipes we use today are modified from recipes regularly eaten by the Georgians.  It was a time of much more variety and all people ate better food.  Albeit much of it was unhealthy

Monks from Downside Abbey in Radstock discovered a Chicken Curry Recipe dated 1793, in a private collection from Begbrook House near Bristol.  This evidences the love Georgians had for curries and spices
