obviously. He's excellent at teaching about 18th cooking, culture and life. The programs are 'living history' in the best sense. Thanks much for your reply, it led me to read more about him online. The store he has in Indiana with reproduction early American items sounds interesting too.
His father was also interested in 18th century history, and Jon has worked with historic sites and programs in the US for some time, it shows. 
That kind of enthusiasm, ability to educate and encourage people, esp. young ones to learn about history is ideal, just what you want in a living history interpreter and reenactor.
The accurately sourced recipes he uses that are drawn from original records, documents and artwork are first rate. Above all his knowledge and love of what he's doing comes through. For years I worked at historic sites, 18th, 19th c. in programs and interpretive exhibits as an education curator. I love the field, and owe it to my mother who exposed us to art, culture, history, travel and more at a young age. Thanks again & cheers! 🍻
