Mediatheque clips
'Two Cooks and a Cabbage' is one of the clips on the BFI Mediatheque at QUAD (see clip below).
Essential viewing for cooks everywhere - especially in times of austerity. The two cooks, Sally and Jane, are called upon to assist their forthright, no-nonsense northern Grandmother (Mrs Ingleton) in cooking dinner. The girls are sent to find a large cabbage from the wartime garden and cut it in half: a whole cabbage would be frivolous; there is a war on! Sally and Jane choose different cooking techniques but the message is simple: 'never boil green vegetables in vast quantities of water'.
