The Greedy Queen - Dr Annie Gray - 5x15 Bristol

Food historian Annie Gray is a writer, broadcaster and consultant. She’s the resident food historian on BBC Radio 4’s The Kitchen Cabinet, and presented BBC 2’s Victorian Bakers and The Sweetmakers, both living history documentaries exploring social history through food.

Her first book, The Greedy Queen: eating with Victoria is an intimate portrait of one of Britain’s best known monarchs, and had been called a culinary biography, the story of a woman, her stomach and all the edible wares of Victorian Britain.
It covers her eating habits, her relationship with food, her meals and menus, as well as detailing changing food fashions, and going below stairs to look at the people and places associated with cooking.

Recorded in Oct 2017 in Bristol.

5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations. There are only two rules - no scripts and only 15 minutes each.
