Cooking Up a Royal Treat

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

An evocation of country-house life in the 1930s from the perspective of the kitchen. Social scientist Adrian Bell takes Flo Wadlow, now 92, back to the kitchens of Blickling Hall in Norfolk. As she recreates the chicken dish she served for Queen Mary's visit in 1936, Flo's vivid below-stairs recollections of the politicians and other eminent people she cooked for provide a unique window on this tumultuous era.
