The lecture is sponsored by the Worshipful Company of Cooks of London. The smallest of the livery companies, it traces its origins back to the 12th century founded from two guilds of cooks in medieval London – the Cooks of Eastcheap and the Cooks of Bread Street. Today the Company’s present membership continues to include craft tradesmen, and it engages actively with a broad range of organisations and charities associated with cooking.

This talk is open to members to everyone, including the general public.
