Georgian Cooking Programme: April 2025

Celebrate Easter at Quebec House

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Tempting scents fill the air at Quebec House as our volunteer cooks prepare 18th-century-style treats in the kitchen. Explore the childhood home of General James Wolfe then head over to the Coach House to taste the delicious bakes. Remember to bring some spare change to make a donation in support of the ongoing care and conservation of Quebec House.

Our Georgian Cooking programme takes its inspiration from Mrs Wolfe’s Receipt Book. Perhaps more recognisable as a recipe book, it is labelled as her receipt book on the inside cover. The book contains recipes for medicines, cosmetics and food that James’ mother Henrietta would have prepared for her family.

Plan your visit to find out more about the history and food that was part of 18th-century life at Quebec House.
