Royal Recipes: Season 1, Episode 8

1 - 8: Royal Haunts

Michael Buerk is joined by chef Anna Haugh in the historic kitchens of one of the UK's finest stately homes to cook food enjoyed at some of the royal family's favourite haunts - dishes they have enjoyed with family and friends, at picnics and in restaurants. Anna creates a meat pudding that would have found favour with Bertie, Prince of Wales, and his mistress Lillie Langtry and cooks up a mille feuilles dessert from the recipe book of a Buckingham palace kitchen maid, hidden in the Royal Archive for over a hundred years.

Historian Dr Polly Russell visits the restaurants given the royal seal of approval in the 1950s and 60s.
