Clever cooking Georgian style Stamford caterer Adele Waring is to work alongside famous BBC food historian Annie Gray in one of the key opening events for the Georgian Festival. Adele, who runs Clever Cooks, is heading a team of staff helping Annie with a public event in Stamford Arts Centre turning the clock back to reflect Georgian eating habits. “An audience with Annie Gray” will re-create delicacies from sweet potato pie to a layered meat pie with sausage meat, chicken, gammon and hard boiled eggs plus sugar cakes, a favourite of 1760’s tearooms. Adele might not be copying the potted cheeses of 1806 on her own menus but is delighted to be working alongside one of the UK’s most eminent food historians. “I was thrilled and honoured to be asked,” she said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with someone like Annie and to share the kudos of doing something so interesting for Stamford.” Clever Cooks’ chef Stuart Wright will be preparing the food, a selection of sweet and savoury dishes that Georgians piled their plates with. “Food did not come out in different courses,” says Adele. “It was all put out at the same time and they piled their plates high.” From front of house manager at Clever Cooks, former graphic designer Adele took over the business in 2010 and caters for everything from an intimate meal for two in the garden to 200 wedding guests, with business growing across Lincolnshire. An Audience with Annie Gray, September 27. 8.15pm. £10. Tickets still available. Booking line: 01780 763203 stamfordgeorgianfestival.co.uk
