Rezensionen

I love these great in-your-face northern cities. The photos in this book explain why and how Leeds has become a northern powerhouse.

I loved this Christmas present!
Now I want to go back to Hampton Court and pay more attention to the kitchens!

The author was Director of Leeds City Museums. Among other things he now re-creates period recipes and meals; and researches and designs the restoration of period kitchens and dining rooms, from pots and pans to wallpaper, furniture and glassware. Brears also mounts demonstrations of cooking from any period.

This is a study of the food and drink prepared and eaten in ordinary Yorkshire homes in the 1800s. There are also descriptions of kitchens and kitchen equipment, along with other peripheral information. Bl Wh illus, many by the author.

Seventeen varieties of Yorkshire pudding? That’s a bit misleading, because some of them are just inclusions or things gracing the tops of the puddings.

Lengthy list of additional reading!

There's more attention paid to recipes than to other aspects of food history, so you can make several varieties of gruel, for example, or recreate an 18th-century tradesman's dinner. Nearly every page of text (not recipe) is illustrated.

I was disappointed because I'm more interested in the social and technological aspects of food, but this is a good start for people who are interested in cooking per se. It has a reasonable bibliography but it's not a scholarly book.
