Kitchen Conversations
Kitchen Conversations – a rich baroque diet to nourish mind and soul
Mark Bennett (narrator)
Supported by a grant from Continuo Foundation
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.
