Here's one we made earlier...

As the latest issue of the Wellcome Trust's Big Picture tackles the themes of Food and Diet, we thought we would set a culinary challenge for chef Zack Mila. Faced with the Library's collection of 17th recipe manuscripts - and an absence of details, such as cooking times and temperatures - could Zack bring a centuries old recipe to life?

Click on the film above to see how Zach - aided by the Wellcome Library's Helen Wakely - got on (and if you want to look at the recipe in more detail, this link from our catalogue will take you to a digitised edition of it).
