麻豆约拍

Jay Rayner kicks off a new series in style at Banqueting House on London's Whitehall. Tim Anderson, Rachel McCormack, Tim Hayward and Dr Annie Gray are this week's panellists.

Underneath the breathtaking Rubens' ceiling, the panel uncover the more unusual foodie traditions of Twelfth Night and engage in a little revelry of their own. They are joined in the audience by Jennie Walton from the Drury Lane Theatrical Fund, where eighteenth century Twelfth Night practices are still honoured.

As well as digging into the fascinating history of Banqueting House, the only surviving building of the Palace of Whitehall, the panel offers up a bounty of practical cooking tips, including interesting savoury uses for leftover Christmas cake.
