Kitchen Conversations – a rich baroque diet to nourish mind and soul

Kitchen Conversations

continuo logoSupported by a grant from Continuo Foundation

Are you hungry? Join us in our imagined ‘kitchen’ to prepare and cook dinner for friends; there’ll be free-flowing food and wine* leading to deep conversations, mystery ingredients providing sustenance and spice, a rich baroque diet to nourish mind and soul. *NB You’ll have to imagine that bit!

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.
