Pruw has a fascination with and for anything connected to the Tudor period and was an historic re-enactor and taught the history of this period in local schools. She was also for many years the chairman of the Elizabethan House Museum in Totnes where she was responsible for replicating and setting up a Tudor kitchen and still room in the Museum. This has proved to be one of the star attractions for visitors.

In order to achieve as much authenticity as possible she has spent much time investigating the history of the Elizabethan household (including days spent in the kitchens at Hampton Court Palace kitchens). The book is well-researched and informative, is beautifully illustrated and includes hints, methods and recipes and will provide useful facts to anyone with an interest in this period of history.
