Seller's Description:
As New in Good+ jacket. 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall. 224pp, b&w reproductions, archive photos, designs, plus 16pp full-colour photographs. Accompanied the BBC TV series. Book brand-new in grey boards with silver lettering on spine. Pictorial dust jacket has wear-top edge curled and creasing and small tear at top of front spine. A leading social and domestic historian traces the development of British eating habits from the austerity of the 1940s to the end of rationing in the 1950s and the consequent explosion of hostess cookery; through the vast expansion of in Britain's vocabulary of flavours as a consequence of Chinese and Asian immigration in the 1960s to the 1980s, when the obsession with health food put guilt on the menu, and on to the way we eat now-or at least in the 1990s. A delightfully illustrated sideways look at British social history in the second half of the 20th century, putting food and how we eat it at the heart of British culture.
