cook and curator 3
In this second podcast with Jacqui Newling and Scott Hill, who are, respectively, the Cook and the Curator of the blog and website with that name, Mick Paddon asks about the differences between the food being prepared for and eaten by the well-off inhabitants of Vaucluse House in the 1850s, and the poorer families in Sydney Town.
