Royal Dinner - Queen Victoria's Christmas Dinner | Episode #1

An enormous turkey, stuffing, sprouts, gravy and a fruity Christmas pudding to top it off- it really doesn’t get more quintessentially British. The spread that Michelin-Star chef Michel Roth puts on here aims to show how Queen Victoria herself would have feasted over the festive period, with an attention to detail fit for Royals! Food journalist Caroline Mignot joins him in taking us on a culinary journey through the past and present, highlighting and gracefully combining the very best of world gastronomy. His classical training, French twist and painstaking eye for detail bring this traditional Christmas spread to life.
