About this Event
Join us and lecturer, Lester Hillman, at Maida Vale Library as we take a deep dive into Royal Master Cook, Daniell Clarke.
Local resident Daniell Clarke was for three decades Royal Master Cook to Queen Elizabeth I and King James I (VI), spanning two centuries.
This Summer marks his 400th anniversary and today, on the Feast of St Lawrence, Patron of Cooks, we serve up Westminster links in his story including Regent's Park and the Banqueting Hall.
The Armada, Gunpowder Plot, Shakespeare and custard tarts spice up our offering still further.
Light refreshment will be served during the evening talk
