A delectable journey through the culinary history of England from ancient times to today.

The English Table is a delectable journey through the culinary history of England from ancient times to the present day. The book sheds light on the evolution of English cuisine, which essentially was the food of the rich--the poor had to manage as best they could until the twentieth century. Unveiling the secrets hidden in period cookery books, from the earliest known recipe scroll in the fourteenth century to modern classics such as Jane Grigson'sEnglish Food , each chapter is a culinary time capsule. The book features carefully curated recipes from each era and offers a mouth-watering glimpse into the flavors that have shaped English culinary heritage.
