The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover with Sadie

If you've ever wondered what it would feel like to live inside a Renaissance painting, today's episode is for you. We all fall head over heels in love with Peter Greenaway's lush and disgusting 1989 confusingly titled classic The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, thanks to pastry chef and internet icon Sadie. The very long and British careers of James Gambon and Helen Mirren...Michael Nyman's perfect score...the myriad uses for a merkin...we leave no bustier laced and no plate unclean!
