Welcome to A Retro Kitchen!: Illtud Llyr Dunsford, time-traveling cook

...from Wales. About him in this month's Jamie magazine, to which I just got a long-wanted subscription:

[He] delves into the history books for [food] inspiration. "I'm happiest trawling dusty bookshops..." His cinnamon- and ginger-spiced polony sausage, for example, is based on a 17th-century recipe....

You'll find old and new ideas on this site...

I love playing with both food and history and am trying to combine these loves here and in various projects. My most recently published was a fun 3-volume set, which you can get free below, which speaks much of cuisine in a little known part of the world from earliest times to 700 CE....Speaking of old, this is a reincarnation of three old blogs, one shared with friends all over the world and called something like Our Favorite Food This Week, and then one called That Was Delicious that started my toying with retro food ideas, and then A History Writer in the Kitchen where I explored history more....I have kept many posts from those blogs, including many recipes I thought you might like.

Enjoy!
