Traditional?
Gordon Ramsay is very sceptical about historical recipes – he just doesn’t believe they actually work! Ever Wondered sends him to a 15th century farmstead to find out How modern is the modern British menu?

Revealing?
Sean Beer loves his lasagne - but does that give away more information than he thinks? What do your food choices say about you?

Hooked?
Cherie Lunghi doesn't just advertise coffee - she drinks gallons of the stuff, too. Why are some foods so addictive?

First broadcast: Saturday 29 Apr 2000 on BBC TWO
