Clarissa and the King's Cookbook

We Brits love our cookbooks. We buy millions of them and treat our celebrity chefs like royalty. But where did it all begin? In this documentary, self-confessed medieval foodie Clarissa Dickson Wright tracks down Britain's oldest known cookbook - The Forme of Cury. This 700-year-old scroll was written during the reign of King Richard II from recipes created by his own master chefs.
