The Book of Marmalade Revised Edition C. Anne Wilson "A delightful
definitive study."--"New York Times" "An excellent study and a
model of its kind."--William Woys Weaver "Wilson has found out just
about everything anyone could ever have wanted to know about the
splendid preserve."--"Bristol Evening Post" "The history is laid
out lovingly on a plate, garnished with historical and up-to-date
recipes."--"Caterer and Hotelkeeper" "Fascinating and
pioneering."--"London Magazine" Here is everything you need to know
about marmalade. C. Anne Wilson, Britain's foremost historian of
food, traces the history of this most British of preserves from its
Roman and medieval antecedents, through its adoption in Tudor
England, its development in Stuart and Georgian Britain, and its
fortunes up to the present day. She tells how the Portuguese
learned from the Moors to eat quince marmalade, and how its
characteristic Arab flavorings enhanced its appeal to the
Europeans. Marmalade's varied roles--as a gift, as a sweetmeat, as
a medicine, and as an aphrodisiac-are all discussed in "The Book of
Marmalade." The book concludes with dozens of recipes, new and
traditional, in which marmalade is the star ingredient. C. Anne
Wilson was for many years in charge of the special collection of
cookery books at the Brotherton Library in Leeds, England. She is
the author of "Food and Drink in Britain" and many other studies of
British food history. 1999 184 pages 5 1/2 x 9 12 illus. ISBN
