From Plain Fare to Fusion Food
Author:
Derek J. Oddy
Published:
2003
Medium: Book Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
Simple meals made from a limited range of industrially processed foodstuffs constituted the 'plain fare' which most people in Britain ate from the 1890s until after the Second World War. Dietary surveys show that when wages were low and social conditions poor, health was affected and support the view that malnutrition and dietary deficiencies existed during the first half of the twentieth century. hardback

The Art of Cookery in the Middle Ages
Author:
Terence Scully
Published:
2005
Medium: Book Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
The master cook who worked in the noble kitchens of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries had to be both practical and knowledgeable. His apprenticeship acquainted him with a range of culinary skills and a wide repertoireof seasonal dishes, but he was also required to understand the inherent qualities of the foodstuffs he handled, as determined by contemporary medical theories, and to know the lean-day strictures of the Church. Research in original manuscript sources makes this a fascinating and authoritative study where little hard fact had previously existed. paperback
