A salute to four great thinkers.
If Rossini had not preferred food to music there would have been no
Tornados Rossini. If Nellie Melba had not become so fat through eating too many of the Peach Melbas created for her by Escoffier, he would not have had to remedy the situation by inventing Melba Toast. If he hadn't lost his all on that last turn of the cards, would the Earl of Sandwich have found inspiration for a snack? Today, would a champion of the people like Garibaldi have to share the honours with a biscuit called the 'Mandela'?
Bernard Bresslaw, aided by David Troughton and Christopher Ryan, brings these food heroes to life.
