Last weekend I had a lovely day out at Hampton Court Palace.  I had a free ticket and I’ve always wanted to go… so I treated myself to a little day out!

My highlight was the kitchens where I met Robin cooking over a roaring fire:

Sadly I didn’t get to try any of this roast beef, but I did later get a ham, chicken and leek pie in the cafe, which was very tasty!

Robin and his friends were very generous with their time, telling me all about traditional Tudor cooking… and got me all ‘fired up’ (boom, boom) to look up traditional recipes and spices to use in in my campfire cooking.

Roll on Spring and the start of the camping season!
