The novelist Lawrence Norfolk talks about the sources and sauces of his new book John Saturnall's Feast.

Set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, the novel tells the story of John Saturnall, the son of a suspected witch, and his extraordinary gift for flavour which leads him from his humble origins, through the heat of the kitchen to the fury of battle.
