Background to the book
An original edition of The London Art of Cookery by John Farley in 1807 was inherited by Jenny’s husband. Generations of his family considered this treasure too precious to be displayed so, carefully wrapped in tissue paper, the book had always been stored out of sight.
When the time had come for it to be unwrapped and its contents examined, Jenny was fascinated. She was holding culinary history in her hands and, as she pored over the old recipes, she felt compelled to delve into the past and discover why this book had belonged to her husband’s family, the Allen’s.The trail took her back to late eighteenth-century Cardiff, and a surprise! She discovered that the family had owned a thriving catering and confectionery business in Duke Street, adjacent to Cardiff Castle. The London Art of Cookery was one of the books used at the Allen’s establishment where they prepared for civic banquets, hunt balls and weddings.
Jenny was so inspired by these discoveries and this led to her writing ‘Quaking Pudding - A Georgian Kitchen in Wales’, to link this family history with the food they had prepared. So, she cooked her way through the ancient book that’s packed with old recipe favourites and many unusual ones as well, such as A Shoulder of Mutton Surprised, Quaking Pudding, Beef Gobbets, Pickled Nasturtium Seeds, Whigs and Love Apple Sauce. Eventually 68 recipes were selected for ‘Quaking Pudding - A Georgian Kitchen in Wales’, and as in her last book, Susan’s Secrets - A Victorian Kitchen in Wales, Jenny assembled an array of friends, actors, television personalities, writers and chefs to also test and taste many of these long forgotten recipes.
