EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Henry Taunt in 1901, captures a moment in time at the historic New College kitchens in Oxford, Oxfordshire. The image transports us back over a century ago, to an era when meals were prepared with care and dedication. The scene is set in the heart of the college, where the cooks are hard at work, their faces focused and determined as they prepare joints of meat. The men, dressed in their white aprons, deftly handle the raw ingredients, their hands moving with practiced ease. The air is filled with the aroma of roasting meat and the sound of pots and pans clattering against the stove. A spit of chickens, ready to be roasted, leans against the wall, its golden brown skin glistening in the light. The cooks work in unison, their movements synchronized as they prepare the meal for the college's residents. The kitchen, with its large fireplace and copper pots and pans, is a hive of activity, a testament to the importance of food and nourishment in the daily life of the college. Henry Taunt's photograph provides a rare glimpse into the past, offering us a window into the world of the college kitchens in the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of life, the joy of a well-cooked meal, and the enduring tradition of food preparation that continues to this day in the historic halls of New College, Oxford.
