Victory in the Kitchen with Dr Annie Gray

Dr Annie Gray is one of Britain's leading food historians, specialising in the history of food and dining. She has worked widely across both TV and radio and has been the resident food historian on BBC Radio 4's award-winning culinary panel show, The Kitchen Cabinet. Annie will be sharing the fascinating story of Georgina Landemare who started her career as a nursemaid, and ended it cooking for one of the best-known figures in British history, Winston Churchill, a man to whom food was central, not only as a pleasure by itself, but as a diplomatic tool in a time when the world was embroiled in a worldwide war.  Her story takes us to wartime London, via Belle Epoque Paris and prohibition-era New York.
