- As the festive season gathers pace, join Mark Griffin and Kathy Hipperson to discover the delights of historical seasonal food. Take inspiration from the Victorian kitchen and try some traditional dishes this Christmas.
Wherever Kathy Hipperson goes, I follow.
I just LOVE Kathy. She is by far one of the best historical interpreters I've ever seen!!
I am right there with you!!!!!!
Same, bro, same!
same
We're a cult and Kathy is our Queen.
Who else was waiting for her to say?..And for this recipe.....
you will need....😄

Hahahaha
Lot of brandy..
You will need....
Kathy: "You would get a kitchen maid to do this."
Mark: "Are you volunteering?"
Kathy: *glares in Mrs Crocombe*
For someone who didn't cook much before becoming Mrs. Crocombe, Kathy is sure coming into her own making all these recipies!
She didn't say "For this recipe, You will need..."
This is not Mrs. Crocombe.
@Vanilla bhabi g¡rl Not today.
It's weird seeing the actress for Mrs. Crocombe without the iconic glasses or spectacles.
It’s also weird not hearing her throw shade at the poor
@@P3891 or at her maids
@@lanceokami3567 I know right
@@lanceokami3567 "MARYANNE!"
She's an absolute stunner out of costume. Good Lord.
Damn it! I'm so used to calling her Mrs. Crocombe, I forgot she was an actress/chef. LOL. Kathy.
Not a chef! She had to learn everything for the role of Mrs Crocombe; she's a historical reenactor, and absolutely delightful. I really recommend the new cookbook/history book they've put out, it's really good and informative. It's not just recipes, it's also food and history centered around Audley End.
She's not really a cook! But considering her role as Mrs. Avis Crocombe for years, I'm pretty sure she learned how to actually cook herself.
Kathy Hipperson is delightful cooking as herself; cooking and discussing the history.
The lost sister. Separated since birth. Share the same passion for cooking. This sister is sweeter.
We can imagine she was transported from the Victorian era to the modern era & took quite a while to adjust to modern conveniences like ovens & stoves, smart phones & shocking fashions like women wearing pants!
@@maxinezook3835 Ankles! Ankles everywhere!
'Naturally, you will want to have some alcohol in it....'
Yepp. It's definitely *her*...😄
Is it just me or does it feel strange seeing her using a modern stove
I thought that was a bit strange. They are trying to remain authentic and yet the modern stove kind of ruins it. I would have liked to see how the pudding etc. cooked with the stove that was actually used during that time.
Modern?that's a Victorian stove
@@Madmax-iy8fi Nope
It's modern
Blasphemy
That modern stove does look out of place!
Me: *browsing youtube and sees Mrs Crocombe on a thumbnail* Wait, new video!? Waaaaaaait this isn't from English Heritage! But...love...Kathy...so much! Much watch!
This must be before Mrs Crocombe was hired at Audley End House. 😆
no, he was socially distancing his finger, which suggests this is actually new.
It seems to have been uploaded Dec 4 of 2020.
@@deeraines9416 I'm aware this is a newer video just released this month, same as the Tudor food video that was recently uploaded. I was just joking as to why Kathy aka Mrs Crocombe was not at Audley End. 😅🤣
Everyone needs to get their start somewhere. This could be before she married Mr. Crocombe. 😁😂
@@katbee8120 There was never a Mr Crocombe - Mrs was an honorary title for a woman of her age and Crocombe was her maiden name. According to English Heritage Mrs Crocombe was single at the time she worked at Audley End. When she did marry, later in life, she ceased to be employed. Presumably because married women did not work. Nggg!
Kathy, as the professional she is, did a great job of incorporating the Victorian cook into her information.
I love Kathy Hipperson! She rocks
"For this recipe you will need"
Armands, cayernne peppern and sorce.
She's such a lovely person. This was fun to watch.
I have made Eliza Acton's Christmas pudding for years, and it is truly fantastic. The simplicity of it somehow seems more Christmas-y to me than the elaborate productions endorsed by celebrity chefs. I use more spice than the recipe calls for, since I'm cooking for American tastes. I also age it for a couple of months, since I usually make it in October. A bit of ageing improves the flavor, but don't believe those who say it improves after years of storage! It certainly will last for years, but from my own puddings, I can say it's best after a few months and kind of creepy after more than a year.
The way she looked at him when he used that rusted nutmeg grater!! 🤣🤣 I felt the same....oof
I literally felt like they were lowkey going at it with each other at times, but like subtly. Still applaud them tho
What a delightful way to end 2020. Thank you Ms Kathy, I absolutely adore you, thank you for making 2020 easier. From Texas, next to a Mexican border town, Feliz Ano Nuevo! Prosperidad, Salud, y Amor!
I watch this wonderful program second time in a row, - obviously, it becomes a new good Chritsmas tradition, - and every time I get so amazed by the lovely manners of two chefs/historic reenactors working together in a comparably small kitchen, sharing the same table, cooking on the same small stove, - and showing such a great cooperation, good will & politeness! Well, - THAT is a real Christmas spirit!
It is late summer/early autumn here in northern New Mexico, USA, and I watched this episode again to find some solace amid the ongoing pandemic. Thank you, Landmark Trust, Ms. Hipperson, and Mr. Handsome Nice Man with the really beautiful trousers. I'd love to share some cheer with that beautiful Wassail with all of you.
Wait what.
Mrs.Crocombe’s doppelgänger.
Where’s the glasses. Where’s the persnickety.
What am I watching. How did I get here.
I fall asleep to these videos sometimes and I wake up to my dog seriously drooling from all the food sounds lol
I absolutely love a Victorian Christmas. There's a market near me every year where people dress up and have an amazing time. Fantastic.
FASCINATING! Loved the Victorian kitchen history.
At first I thought, wow 55 minutes, but I watched every second with rapt attention.
I found this so interesting. I’m so picky in my own kitchen and have loved watching how things were done in years past. Thank you.
I love Kathy Hipperson, she makes everything so enjoyable to watch. 😁❤️
I AM IN HEAVEN! 😍 love from Guayaquil 🇪🇨 i have been watching since the first episode. I love your recipes and i made some variations for our table.
I always loved watching Mrs C on here
Every now and again we get glimpses of Mrs Crocombe peek through. And I’m here for it.
Many different lovely recipes to try out. I enjoyed all the bits of history intermixed in with the baking. Thank you for sharing these with us. Take care.
I can just imagine how delightful that kitchen smells, with all the lovely desserts being prepared. They all look so delicious. Very well done! 👍😊 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you, Kathy and Mark, for presenting this interesting look at Victorian Christmas foods! Also, it was so touching to see how you respected each other's space during this weird pandemic. Hope you have happy holidays this year as well!
Watching both of them doing food prep on a 30” high table gives me such a sympathetic backache!
This really made me feel like Christmas.Everything looked wonderfull and tasty.Looks like all the time and effort they had to put into everything back then was worthwhile as long as you were not the poor servants slaving away all day.Love all her videos,she has a real flare for those times and explains so well.👍👍👍
I have to say it's certainly getting me in the spirit of things.
Wow, Mrs Crocombe, you are looking very slim and fit these days!
@@MisaloSloe Chill. I was giving her a compliment. And we all know she portrays Mrs Crocombe. I think even Daniel Radcliffe is ok with fans calling him Harry Potter.
What an excellent program! But it is almost impossible to watch without getting hungry :)
Thank you! It is wonderful to see all of these festive recipes. I think I will try and include at least one on my Christmas table this year. Oh.. I just realized what happened to the champagne jelly at the end? I'd love to see it.
Oh! My! Thank you very much.
I love to see more and more of the victorian cooking and kitchen.
This year I have been teaching my housekeeper about baking and holiday candy making. It is wonderful to see the enthusiasm and joy she has in learning somethings I take for granted as being a part of people's holidays. The young lady grew up in homes that did not celebrate that way, or even did baking as a part of the regular culinary routine.
A mix of modern and Victorian is just so beautiful.
I’m watching this just for inspiration a few days before Christmas and I’m loving it!
Thank you for sharing this. Happy Belated Christmas!
The best bit was the panic when Kathy realized she had forgotten the gingerbread. 😂😂😂
My goodness she looks identical to Mrs Crocombe!!
I love there I watch them every Sunday morning 💕
Wonderful!
Thank you both. 👏🌲
Mrs. Crocombe?! Fancy meeting you here! 😲😍
What an amazing set of dishes! It must have been a whole day of cooking.
Even with a modern stove, it still was a big ordeal most likely, so yes, much of a day, just to make a meal.
Happy Belated Christmas! Thank you for your wonderful job!
This was an interesting show. I did miss Mrs. Crocombe's wit and her occasional tart remarks. When the gentleman mentioned about reading about a woman who was putting eight spoonfuls of sugar her tea I figured he was talking about someone from the South in the United States. They call that Sweet Tea and serve it iced. They call it "the House Wine of the South".
For sweet iced tea the ratio of sugar to tea was one cup sugar to one gallon of tea. That's the way my husband's family makes it. I, a yankee, prefer no sugar.
@@breeinatree4811 I'm a southerner who grew up on really sweet tea and now I only like unsweetened. Afraid I might get my southern card taken away any minute now.
@@sharonsmith583 LOL not by me.
Yes, its a very southern thing and for some reason it seems that the more sugar you add the better most southerners like it. Im just the odd duck as even just 1/2 tsp of white sugar is way to sweet for me and i was born and raised Southerner.
As a Scottish lass I thought 4 spoons in my mug made me sweet toothed but I couldn't imagine 8 :-) I actually get called sweet tooth by a friend but I can not stand sweet foods that much. :-)
Place some salt on your ice. It helps bring out the cold and keeps it from melting as fast. Tip for anyone not looking to use a fridge right away when filming something victorian lol. Rock salt is best but table salt will do in a pinch.
She didn't say thank you when he passed her the fork....
That made me sad too 😂
I don’t think they care very much for working with each other.
My grandmother would make her plum pudding in November and keep it in a cool dry place. Each week she would soak it in brandy for a bit. By Christmas you could get tipsy from the smell. Then she would bring it to the table and set it on fire. It was surprising that she would use so much alcohol because she was a teetotaler.
My mom made her Christmas cake a year ahead of time, and poured brandy on it every couple of weeks. She didn't dare set fire to it, because it would have singed the dining room ceiling.
I have always wanted to try real plum pudding. But it's kinda daunting, to invest in such an elaborate recipe, if you don't even know, if you'll like the result.
Are they a universally popular thing, or more a matter of taste?
@@raraavis7782 think of it as a fruit cake only better tasting and not as dry. I don't put any candied fruits in mine because I think its sweet enough, but I don't like things very sweet anyway. I use fresh orange zest instead.
@@breeinatree4811
That's a good tip, thanks. I would probably also prefer fresh orange zest to candied fruit. I like dried fruit, but candied is not my thing, generally speaking.
The thought of a cake drenched in brandy and set on fire, on the other hand....😄
Or so you thought.
Thanks there were a couple of new ones to me. And they all look delightful. Happy New Year🎉 to you all!!
Wonderful programme! 👏👏
Very savory and historically informative.
I just Love all that you do
Love the victorian stove !!! 😁
I've never made a Christmas pudding but have wanted to since I became so fascinated with all things Victorian as a young girl. I'm going to use the first recipe this year! Thank you for sharing the recipes with the history bits!
(I wanted to add, I find it disheartening to see any rude or criticizing comments. Why waste your time?)
I can’t stand dried fruit myself. I’ve only eaten Xmas pudding once as an adult and I really don’t like it. That said, my mum lives in France now and makes it for my french stepdad’s family every year lol. They love it. Each to their own I guess.
I love watching your videos . So therapeutic ☺️
Me encantó éste video . Bendiciones . Un abrazo desde Costa Rica 🙋♀️
I’m watching this and remembering Kathy as Mrs Crocombe making Nesselrode cream.
The table seems a bit low for them both - bad for the back! Otherwise, very interesting and enjoyable! Thank you.
They choose that probably so the camera can easily capture all the ingredients layed out.
My Back hurts just from watching it!😅
@@kontaktkaefer Likewise! That is what prompted me to make my comment!!😂
My mom used to slice it like bread and toast it then slather it with butter.
Sounds wonderful!!
I’ve never heard of this lady before no offence to her but damn she can cook,reminds me of my nana cooking and my moms at Christmas. Love that cooker gonna be cheeky ask were they got it from?
Lol The LandNARK trust. You had one job, Dave!
Mark Griffin: So Kathy...
Mrs. Crocombe: Kathy has stepped out for the moment.
What a beautiful video. I may try my hand at a few of these
Quite belated, but if it helps, an eighth of a pint is a quarter-cup (2 fluid ounces, or about 60 milliliters).
Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year.
Goodness, Mrs. Crocombe seems to have cousins all over Britain!
Just sell me a special edition all Kathy set already ♥
This is really neat and fun to watch, times are really tight for us this year. My son has 4 Christmas presents 2 of them are books and I’ve got nothing for my daughter as she is only 3 months and I’m thinking about Christmas dinner being super depressing this year but now I think I’ll make this pudding bc it will be pretty cheap and it will make us feel Christmas this year, can’t always have a turkey but it will be a fun Christmas to make the plum pudding!
I hope you found some beautiful and fun ways to celebrate Christmas joyfully. Books are some of the BEST gifts, but time spent simply, and with family can be even better!
I loved this!
If Kathy is here...I must suscriiiibeeeee...
What a great video
I like my pudding sticky so we will have to agree to differ in our tastes lol.
If one thinks a thumbs down is necessary, back it up with a comment. This is a great video even if she is out of character.
Simply wonderful 🎄🤶🤶🤶. I am not keen on the taste of hard liquor so I would leave that out.
Nice, Mrs. Crocombe is having a field trip, no doubt spying on other people’s grand houses to report back to Lady Braybrooke. Though I miss her usual shade-throwing self
❤ Kathy
I love her clay mixing pot.
I saw Mrs Crocomb and subscribed immediately.
I didn't know this video existed until today!
I watched another documentary where Ivan Day packs salt on ice to make it even colder .
She’s the best
👏😊 it's, it's the ladies sister from English Heritage Channel🤔😂
Moira
From England.
Mrs.crocombe has time travelled!!!
Love her.
i like her kitchen get up. the bonnet is interesting to wear.
Great grandma Leatherman's Plum Pudding recipe that was passed down from her mom, and her mom after that, Stith being the surname from England. The elders claim it was the Leatherman's who were bluebloods, but it was the Cowell side who descended from the bluebloods. LOL.
The table is very low, especially for the man who's quite tall. He may end up with a bad back. But I love to watch them both.
Not uncommon for the cooks of the period, and most likely, many sat in a chair to do much of their prepping before standing at the stove to cook it. At least in the US, standardization of cabinets that we know today didn't begin to show until the early 1900's, with standardization of appliances etc coming in the late 30's and 40's. This was also likely before the common use of indoor plumbing as well.
He definetely wants to taste mrs crocombe
MRS CROCOMBE! ❤❤❤
There is an old saying, everything is equal in the world, the rich have their ice in the summer, the poor have theirs during the winter. So by Christmas everyone could have their jellies, although maybe not champagne!
He was completely superfluous to this program.
.. and just a little more brandy...😆
All day yesterday I felt as though I had a bean in my 12 cake,
