- Synopsis:
Luxuriate in the splendour of the Edwardian age with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall as he sets out on his mission to revive the best traditions of this opulent era and conjures up all the extravagance of the age. Hugh demonstrates how to create some of the treats of the time including the joy of roses and lavender in the bath and linen cupboard; exotic fruits and entire flowers suspended in quivering champagne jellies; the taste of homemade pistachio ice cream and sweets; 'noisy' rhubarb and beauty remedies made from household ingredients. Hugh's enthusiasm, wonderful recipes and a look at how the Edwardians turned the simple things in life into works of art make this a fascinating, gentle journey back in time. - Actors:
