Title: Marguerite Patten's Century of British Cooking
Description: London, Grub Street Publishing. 1999, Reprint. (ISBN: 1902304144) Hardcover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book, Who, in 1899, could have predicted Gary Rhodes or the Two Fat Ladies? As the century draws to a close, the doyenne of British cookery writing returns with a fascinating survey of the enormous changes that have taken place in British cooking and eating habits during its course. Marguerite Patten has spent more than 50 years observing the British at table and teaching us how to cook. Starting with the conservative (and on occasion frankly dispiriting) cuisine of the turn of the century, Marguerite Patten's Century of British Cooking charts, decade by decade, the wholly unpredictable course subsequently taken by the national taste buds. Bottom rear edge of dustwrapper is lightly bumped. Very Good/Very Good.
