Was the poisoning hysteria in 17th century Paris justified? How much do you know about the different methods of fortune telling? And is using a Black Mass to get a royal shag a bit much?

This week's secret ingredient is...blood!

We're racing back to the 15th Century to tell the tale of Elizabeth Ridgeway. Elizabeth wasn't a fan of the church. Or husbands. Or people who stood in her way. Were her crimes embellished by an over-zealous clergyman? Was she truly a mistress of white mercury? And how many hats will it take to keep Nick happy?

This week's secret ingredient is...violet!
