RIP, Simone Segouin, 97, died yesterday, proud member of the French resistance, famously photographed by Robert Capa and others in August 1944, aged 18, as she liberated Paris.
Never to be forgotten.

Cook the food and learn the history. In this course, you’ll learn gently from the Regency Cook how to cook the Regency way. Learn, week by week, new recipes. Cook for yourself or impress your friends with a delicious historically authentic meal. You’ll learn how to make recipes Jane Austen may have eaten and understand the history, both social and cultural, behind them. This course is ideal for those with a particular interest in Georgian and Regency history and food. It is also valuable for those writing about the Regency period who’d like to include more food in their writing. This new course will run from 27th February to the 19th March (three weeks), with more details to follow soon. You can do the bulk of the course in your own time, with a live session with Paul Couchman, The Regency Cook, each Thursday for the duration of the course. Please apply to participate for free in the beta round of this course. And if you know someone you think would love to participate too, please share this form with them.
