EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative reconstruction drawing by Ivan Lapper transports us back to the Tudor era, specifically to the kitchen of Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire, England, in July 1575. The scene is set for a grand feast in honor of Queen Elizabeth I's visit. The large, open hearth at the center of the room is ablaze with a roaring fire, its warmth radiating throughout the space. A team of cooks, dressed in period attire, are busy at work, preparing an array of dishes for the royal banquet. Pots and pans hang from the wooden beams above, while an assortment of herbs, spices, and ingredients are neatly arranged on the wooden table to their side. To the left, a baker kneads dough at a long wooden table, while another cook stirs a large cauldron filled with a hearty stew. A third cook, holding a large platter, adds a final garnish to a dish before it is carried off by a servant. In the background, a young boy pours water from a pitcher into a large tub, while a maid fills a wooden tub with apples, likely for the production of cider or other fruit-based beverages. The atmosphere is bustling and energetic, as the kitchen staff work diligently to prepare a sumptuous feast fit for a queen. The intricate details in Ivan Lapper's drawing bring this Tudor kitchen to life, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this historic moment in time.
