For their first episode, the Food & Spirits team sets off to investigate Bramsford Manor, a historic house turned famously haunted hotel, in picturesque Hampshire, England.

For some, there has never been a happier food era than today: a time of unusual herbs, farmers' markets, and internet recipe swaps.
