A cup of coffee and a slice of cake, cooking for friends, Sunday lunch with the family at the local pub most of us take these simple everyday pleasures for granted. But how did we learn to cook and what inspired us to get better at it? Todays food-obsessed culture has its roots in the Georgian period. Kay explores how, as a consequence of wider trade and travel, people living in Georgian Britain witnessed the emergence of new and exotic ingredients. Discover the real histories of our domestic and commercial kitchens, how Britain fell in love with food and how progress and invention in the culinary arts is largely attributed to the Georgians.
