Celebrity chef Clarissa Dickson Wright's goose is cooked – in the kitchen of an historic Lincolnshire house.

The eccentric star will be on TV tomorrow night as she prepares a medieval meal at the Old Hall in Gainsborough.

The original kitchen at the Parnell Street building dates back to 1457 and was chosen to host The King's Cookbook.

The programme, which is part of the BBC's medieval season, features the lawyer-turned-chef who rose to fame as one half of the celebrated Two Fat Ladies.

During the programme, Ms Dickson Wright tracks down Britain's oldest known cookbook – The Forme of Cury – a 700-year-old scroll.

She uses it to unravel recipes, source authentic ingredients and discover medieval gastronomic techniques.

Cooking a goose dish in the Old Hall kitchen she recreates the regal fare which would have graced King Richard II's table.

“The goose I'm cooking is a different dish because of the herbs and spices involved,” Ms Dickson-Wright tells viewers.

“I use sage because it was good for the digestive system and cleansed the blood.”

Gainsborough Old Hall site coordinator Victoria Mason said Ms Dickson Wright was a welcome visitor to the manor house.

“It is always wonderful to see the kitchens being used for the purpose they were built,” she said.

“Visitors will also be able to see this fine example of a medieval kitchen working on Whit Bank Holiday Monday, May 26, as part of the Battling Through Time living history event we are hosting at the hall.”
