Early 19th Century Comfort Food History - Cooking for Beethoven

Описание: What was it like to be Ludwig Van Beethoven's housekeeper? We travelled back in time to try and find out. Join us as we make his weekly regular and his favourite comfort food while exploring how he was to live with and how we know all these things.

Special thanks to Chris M for portraying Beethoven's dinner guest.
