  On the night of 14 October 1940, a Luftwaffe bomb destroyed the old Treasury building in Whitehall. What Hitler had come close to achieving with that lucky strike was the elimination of Britain's wartime leader, Winston Churchill, who was in Number 10 Downing Street when the air raid took place. Churchill instructed his cook, Mrs Landemare, who had been reluctant to leave a pudding she was making, to join him in the rudimentary basement shelter. Blast from the explosion took out the back wall of the building, destroying the kitchen where they had both been just minutes before. The experience finally forced Churchill to use the marginally better protected Cabinet War Rooms as shelter in future. Churchill had, that night, one of the many brushes with death that he experienced throughout his long life. Just three minutes later, as he recounts in his memoirs, the very spot where they had both been standing became a scene of complete devastation.
  Georgina Landemare had known the Churchill family since the 1930s, when Churchill's wife Clementine occasionally employed her to cook for house parties at Chartwell. At these she had impressed Churchill, the demanding trencherman, and his eminent guests, with her often deceptively simple but exacting recipes. Clementine later recalled that when Mrs Landemare made her offer to cook for the Churchills, she was 'enchanted, because I knew she would be able to make the best out of rations and that everyone in the household would be happy and contented'. An arrangement that should have lasted for just six years of war continued until 1954 when, at the age of 72, Georgina Landemare finally retired – a year before Winston Churchill himself resigned as prime minister.
