The master miller of Rochester Priory received a food gift at Easter for his services to the community of monks there. That gift was a flan. In this video, Dr Christopher Monk recreates a medieval recipe for a sweet creamy flan: silky smooth and delicious!

The recipe download and YouTube channel video offer a little history on the Rochester Priory Flan, which is mentioned at least twice in Custumale Roffense: once as an Easter gift to the master miller and once as a donation to the hospital at Strood, set up in 1193 by Bishop de Glanville.
