Join food historian and chef Neil Buttery as he explores the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether fit for a monarch’s table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer, charting innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.
Food history tells us so much about our culture and society: from bread creating human civilisation … to the invention of the wedding cake.
Is evolution an incremental elevation toward perfection as technology improves? Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. Neil demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out – and that some should perhaps be left in the past.
