The Victorian Kitchen

Harry Dodson and Ruth Mott revive the relationship between the head gardener and cook of a large country house to demonstrate how meals were prepared in Victorian times. This hugely popular television series goes behind the high redbrick walls of Chilton Foliat in Berkshire. Its shows how the cook and her staff provided all of the meals, from the fun of breakfast, afternoon tea and picnic lunches, to the elaborate formality of the Victorian dinner party. Harry Dodson reveals the techniques which the head gardener would employ to ensure that the fresh produce required by the kitchen was always on hand. The series provides a fascinating insight into the variety of foods which people were eating 100 years ago.
