The many influences of the past on our diet today make the concept
of 'British food' very hard to define. The Celts, Romans, Saxons,
Vikings and Normans all brought ingredients to the table, and the
country was introduced to all manner of spices after the Crusades.
The Georgians enjoyed a new level of excess and then, of course,
the world wars forced us into the challenge of making meals from
very little. The history of cooking in Britain is as tumultuous as
the times its people have lived through. Tasting the Past: Recipes
from Antiquity documents the rich history of our food, its fads and
its fashions to be combined with a practical cookbook of over 120
recipes from the eras of the Iron Age Celts and the Romans. Jacqui
Wood guides us through the nutritious and pragmatic recipes of the
Celts, who harvested the ingredients readily available around them;
and the far more elaborate tastes of the Romans, who had an empire
of imports to supplement and spice up their continentally curated
diet.
