The Victorian Kitchen

BBC One
on BBC One London

Ruth Mott re-creates the lost world of Victorian cooking.
Afternoon Tea. Five o'clock tea was an important social occasion for the Victorians. It was very formal. As Ruth Mott remembers, "Ladies took their gloves off. but never their hat." Her tea is lavish: strawberry ice-cream, caraway-seed cake, cucumber sandwiches and claret cup, flavoured with borage from the garden.
Presented by Peter Thoday. Producer Keith Sheather
('The Victorian Flower Garden' on Thursday at 8.00pm on BBC2)
