I "get" how inspiring it is as a writer to go "on location" and take in all the sensory details of a place. Even though you are "present" you can better imagine what is was like in the past.

The act of cooking to replicate an earlier period in history is such a delightful way to discover new things and incorporate them into your writing.

Thanks for commenting, Jill. You're right, the cooking class was a fascinating way to look at the past, and all those recipes are rich fodder for historical novels! And it was great to have met Marie at those classes.
