The fascinating history of the people, the ideas and the dishes
that have fed - and starved - the nation, by the author of the
Sunday Times bestselling Scoff. Whose responsibility is it to make
sure there is something to eat on every table? To make sure that
children get milk and cereal, eggs and toast to keep hunger at bay?
To feed key workers, whether they be NHS nurses, or soldiers
fighting abroad? And do we all have the right to good food? This
story of our changing customs and laws around our food, from
prehistory to the present, reveals how every generation has fought
to feed the family and the nation; and how battles over farmland,
the kitchen, or the restaurant, shape the food we eat It is a tale
of the yeasty magic of bread and ale, the thrill of sugary treats,
the pies and puddings that punctuate the year and our strange
love-hate relationship with fish, vegetables and cheese.
