Very good book about the progression of food and cooking ware through out england
Hmm, not sure when this was written but is was definitely a long time ago.
It is definitely quite a hard read too, it starts off with the earliest recipes are those involving cannibalism. And then goes on to say that when the Greeks relinquished the notion of cooking themselves they turned to cooking
Fascinating book
I liked it. A plunge into days bygone. I enjoyed reading the recipes. The suet puddings are astonishing!
Good
Good recipes I liked it very much , very interesting to read, I would recommend it for a good read
Slow reading due to finely detailed historical accounts about cooking and the variety of foods eaten. Very little in the way of recipes. Even after all that I do feel came away having learned some interesting things.
