Nottinghamshire has a number of traditional puddings, but all is not quite as it seems in some cases!

Mark will tell us of the history of puddings in Robin Hood's county and you will be able to take away some free recipes to make your own.

Mark has been researching, writing and giving talks about the history of food and drink for the last 20 years. He gained a PhD from Nottingham University in 2007 for his study of food and drink in a gentry household in the 16th century. Since then he has conducted extensive research into traditional food and drink in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire and done some studies of individual foods - for example sheep's milk cheese, oatcakes and Henderson's Relish. Mark is the secretary of the Leeds Symposium on Food History and Traditions.
