An online picnic making workshop that combines food history with delicious food to be enjoyed outdoors.

Enjoy two hours of cookery escapism and make your own Jane Austen picnic, inspired by historic recipes, with me, Paul Couchman, The Regency Cook.#JaneAustenPicnicExperience is an online event that will walk you through the steps you need to create a delicious picnic that characters in a Jane Austen novel would have enjoyed.

<blockquote>"It was to bedone in a quiet, unpretending, elegant way, infinitely superior to the bustle and preparation, the regular eating and drinking." </blockquote><blockquote>from Emma by Jane Austen</blockquote>

<h3>Come and join in a unique historic online picnic making workshop. </h3>We will work with historic recipes to recreate the tastes of Regency summers gone by.In this online workshop you will learn how to create a picnic Jane Austen would have been proud of. We'll make delicious pork or vegetarian raised pies, construct a beautiful Salamagundy salad dish, make some rout cakes and put together a delightful syllabub.

<h3>History</h3>Throughout the course you'll learn the history of these dishes. So you can dazzle your friends with your knowledge of Regency food.At the end of the course you’ll have created picnic dishes fine enough for any Regency picnic. Fit to be seen in a Jane Austen novel or (even) to appear on Netflix's Bridgerton!

<h3>The workshop is given by The Regency Cook </h3>The workshop is being given by me Paul Couchman, The Regency Cook. I am the the founder of the successful Dine Like a Servant fundraising dinners at the Town House and have given many in person food courses in the Town House's kitchen including courses in making Christmas Puddings, Fermentation and Hot Cross Buns. I adore bringing back old historic recipes to life and sharing them with people all over the world. In uncertain times food can unite us all.<h3>Online Courses</h3>Since March 2019 I started giving online courses in Christmas pudding, Christmas cake, mince pies and Hot Cross Buns.

<h3>Reviews</h3>If you are reading this thinking ‘this all sounds great, but what is a historic food course like?’…here’s some reviews for the courses I have given both in person and online.<blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>I just wanted to thank you for fantastic time making our hot cross buns! I have made them since for my partner who really enjoyed them too.</blockquote><blockquote>You don't just give us a recipe; you give us a wonderful experience which we really cherish so thank you so much.</blockquote><blockquote>I am so looking forward to your next course whatever it may be!!</blockquote><blockquote>Sarah Lorimer</blockquote><blockquote>I attended a historic food course and had a very enjoyable afternoon. Paul was very knowledgeable and answered our questions about the building and the period kitchen equipment on display. The hot cross buns and biscuits we made were really nice, so nice my daughter declared the bun probably the best she’d ever tasted. Highly recommended.</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>I spent an amazing Sunday baking at the Regency Town House. A 5 star review for Paul…thank you Paul for veganising your recipes – the rose and caraway biscuits are a taste sensation. I can’t wait to book in again for your next baking event! Thank you.</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>Thank you so much for today’s baking session it was so much fun and totally inspiring! Keep up the good work.</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote><blockquote>I just did the hot cross bun making class, it was absolutely brilliant. Paul was a great teacher and very patient and we were in such wonderful surroundings. I will be back again.</blockquote>
