The kitchen was very much the heart of the home in country houses
the length and breadth of Britain. Although this hive of activity
was kept behind closed doors and often hidden away in the bowels of
vast mansions, these rooms ensured that the house and those who
lived in it were provisioned. Country houses were formerly
self-sufficient to an incredible degree, requiring a range of
purpose-built accommodation for food storage and a hierarchy of
servants with unique skills. From brewing and baking through to
distilling, working in the dairy and even ice-storage, this book
offers an intimate look at the ingenuity and creativity that kept
these kitchens running smoothly. It also explores the evolution of
the kitchen range, cooking techniques, vessels and gadgets and the
kitchen staff who used them, as well as the relationship between
kitchen, servery and dining room. This book is a must-read for
anyone interested in food, history and country houses, revealing
how, above and below stairs, good food was always on the table.
