This important book is a ground breaking work on the subject of British
food. It has been thought that civilisation in Britain, which stems from
farming, food and cookery all began with the Romans. But it has now
been discovered that thriving communities possessing a long history with
their own ritual, laws, culture and food, inhabited Britain long before
that time. Food is the fundamental spur to action, innovation,
exploration and creativity in humankind. This book explores the roots of
our national existence through the cultivation of its land, the
production and cooking of its food, revealing the moulding force of
climate and the constant invention in technology that produced the food
through the centuries. It will end in the present but will also consider
the ominous, immediate future with the combined threat of global
warming and Peak Oil. It is a breath-taking attempt to trace the changes
to and influences on food in Britain from the earliest dawning of time
when England became an island, through the Roman occupation, the Plague
years, the Industrial Revolution, the rise of Capitalism to the present
day. There has been a recent wave of interest in food culture and
history and Colin Spencer's masterful, readable account of our culinary
history is a celebrated contribution to the genre. There has never been
such an exciting, broad-scoped history of the food of these islands. It
should remind us all of our rich past and the gastronomic importance of
British cuisine.
