The remarkable lives and times of Georgina Landemare and Florence White. This is an online event hosted on the British Library platform. Bookers will be sent a link in advance giving access and will be able to watch at any time for 48 hours after the start time. In her recently published book, Victory in the Kitchen, historian and broadcaster Dr Annie Gray introduced the world to the woman who cooked for Winston Churchill, Georgina Landmere. Unexpected, funny and revealing, Annie’s book reveals Churchill’s domestic set up, including during the war years, and tells the story of an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances. While Landmere was cooking for Churchill, one-time governess and shopkeeper Florence White started the English Folk Cookery Association and embarked on a life-long mission to champion, discover and revive traditional English recipes. Although revered by cookery writers like Elizabeth David and Jane Grigson, relatively little is known about White. Historian Sue Quinn is planning to change this with the biography she is currently writing. Join Annie and Sue in a conversation chaired by Polly Russell about these two remarkable women and what their lives tell us about food, cooking and eating in the times they lived.
