Welcome to another of our special summer podcasts!A month or so ago I spoke with the utterly delightful Dr Neil Buttery when his brand new book was launched. I happened upon Neil (as you do!) when scrolling through instagram and I saw that he had written a book about one of my all time culinary heroines.Now…You might be thinking Mary Berry (yes I love Mary, have worked with Mary and I think she is fabulous) … but it’s not her. Neither is it Delia or …tum tum tum Nigella! This lady lived about three hundred years ago in Manchester. She was forthright, intelligent, canny and with a fabulous business head. At a time when women weren’t allowed opinion or property.So….. make a cup of tea, get comfy and slice some of your favourite cake… Settle down in your best chair and let me introduce you to Elizabeth Raffald and her biographer the fabulous Neil Buttery.
