Warm and Cozy Chats with Regula Ysewijn and Carolyn Robb

Revisiting a holiday episode from 2022! Culinary historian and writer Regula Ysewijn chats about the crazy British tradition of boar's head, writing the Downton Abbey Christmas Cookbook, and how Charles Dickens saved Christmas; and former royal chef Carolyn Robb talks about the unfair tradition of "Bad British food" and how Christmas makes up for it, the rewards and challenges of being a royal chef, and how King Charles was ahead of his time.Get Regula Ysewijn's recipe for Anchovy Éclairs here: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/anchovy-eclairs/Get Carolyn Robb's recipe for Raspberry-Almond Shortbread with Marzipan here: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/raspberry-almond-shortbread-with-marzipan/Are you liking Food with Mark Bittman?
