AO3 name: skazka Fandoms: The Little Stranger - Sarah Waters; The Turn Of The Screw - Henry James; Mary Reilly - Valerie Martin; HBO Rome; Edward Edward - Lolah Burford Prompts: All of these fandoms are historical fandoms, so please feel free to go hogwild with historical cooking! Elaborate or humble, appetizing or not so much -- Victorian nursery food, beef teas prepared with scrupulous care for your exhausted employer (you know how delicate his disposition is!), Georgian-Regency culinary disasters and agonizing family dinners, WWII-era rationing and postwar British cooking, ancient Roman culinary culture. (Dormice, garum, animal testicles served very rare... and lots of other stuff that's less gnarly but just as memorable.) I love food preparation as an act of love, food preparation as an act of (underappreciated? unseen? misunderstood?) domestic labor, food as medicine, and all the ways everyday material culture manifests itself around cooking and dining.
