A Wobbly History of JELLY: From Elite Dining to Kids’ Parties and Back Again
Listen now

It's all going a bit wobbly in Cunningcast Towers as we are talking about the history of jelly. Tony wants to rescue jelly from its place as a children’s party food because there was a time when making jellies was an art form and took pride of place on the tables of the wealthy. He’s invited leading food historian Annie Gray and jellymonger-in-chief Sam Bompas to help him out. Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson X | Instagram With Sam Bompas Food designer, one half of Bompas and Parr food design agency.   www.bompasandparr.com X @bompasandparr  IG @bompasandparr   To buy jellies and kitchenalia: https://www.benhamandfroud.com Annie Gray Food historian, Annie has worked widely across TV and radio talking about and recreating the food of the past, and has been the resident food historian on BBC Radio 4’s award-winning culinary panel show, The Kitchen Cabinet since its inception in 2012. She includes a recipe for Champagne Jelly in her ‘Downton Abbey Cookbook’.   http://www.anniegray.co.uk/  X @DrAnnieGray IG dranniegray   Credits:    Series Producer: Melissa FitzGerald X @melissafitzg   Executive Producer: Dominic de Terville   Cover Art: The Brightside   A Zinc Media Group production   Follow:   X @cunningcastpod   Instagram @cunningcastpod Youtube @Cunningcast   If you enjoyed my podcast, please follow us and leave us a rating or review.   Thank you, Love Tony x Hosted on Acast.
