Taste of the Château

Born in Burma, but raised and educated in Northern Ireland, Dick Strawbridge retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2001 before becoming a full-time television presenter and author (with arguably the best moustache in showbusiness). Angel Strawbridge is a 1940s vintage-clad redhead from East London. She is the founder of The Vintage Patisserie, a glamorous hospitality company, and author of the bestselling Vintage Tea Party series.Dick and Angel met and fell in love in 2010. In 2015 they bought a derelict château in the Pays de la Loire and became the subjects of the hugely popular Channel 4 hit Escape to the Château. Together they have published three bestselling memoirs.

Dick and Angel's Escape to the Chateau TV series was a phenomenal success. Bring the same je ne sais quoi to your Christmas, as well as other celebrations throughout the year, with their latest book. It's packed with more ideas for food, crafts and gardening projects, so you too can entertain like the Strawbridges. Chic and cheerful.
