Afternoon Tea
Michael Buerk and Paul Ainsworth look at food afternoon tea. Royal cake maker Mich Turner re-creates a masterpiece she made for the Queen, but this time in miniature.
Presenter Michael Buerk is joined by chef Paul Ainsworth to look at food created for the meal which is said to be the Queen's favourite - afternoon tea.
Paul starts with a royal favourite, battenburg, but with a difference - he creates a chocolate and vanilla version. Paul also tries a recipe for Bath buns discovered tucked into the recipe book of a Buckingham Palace kitchen maid in the early 1900s.
Historian Dr Annie Gray tells the story of the charitable wife of Edward VII - Queen Alexandra who chose to treat all the poorest maids in London to a grand tea party at a Bishop's palace. And royal cake maker Mich Turner re-creates a masterpiece she made for the Queen, but this time in miniature.
