Students, Anglophiles, and gourmands will want to delve into this
delightful survey of a cuisine that is both ancient and
cutting-edge. The introduction of modern kitchen convenlences
transformed the food culture of post-war Britain, and further great
changes came about in this period through the embracing of
influences from around the world, especially from southern Europe
and India. The author details changes in shopping, food options and
preparation, restaurantgoing, and diet, while also describing the
cooking traditions and classic dishes for which Britain is
traditionally known, as these still help to define the people.
today, while the influence of regionalism is eroding. Health and
environmental issues such as those raised by bovine spongiform
encephalopathy (mad-cow disease) have come to the fore. Television
cook shows are all the rage. Women working outside the home and the
increase in single-parent households fuel the demand for quick and
pre-prepared meals. The trends are well supported by statistics,
while a timeline, glossary, and resource guide enhance the
narrative.
