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 the Second World War to the 1980s 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 Second World War
onwards. Jacqui Wood guides us through the nutritious and pragmatic
recipes of wartime Britain, which juggled rationing and shortages
to produce delicious food and keep morale high; through the era of
convenience food and television chefs in the 1960s; and finally the
yuppies and stacked food of the 1980s.
