The kitchen is the heart of the home. It was hidden away in Handel’s time but no less lacking in drama and passion, servants and cooks working hard to ensure a smooth-running household. Today’s kitchens are positioned centre-stage, shared spaces for preparation, eating and drinking. Convivial food, free-flowing wine … some juicy gossip… perfect ingredients for an enticing, entertaining, thought-provoking evening.

Musical ingredients from: Telemann, Handel, JS Bach, CPE Bach, Rameau, Purcell, Errollyn Wallen.
