''A joy to immerse oneself in'' Andi Oliver''In the field of food history, Annie Gray leads the pack'' Jay RaynerFor many people Christmas wouldn''t be Christmas without a turkey and trimmings, pudding and brandy butter. And yet it wasn''t always that way. Gone are the gluttonous banquets featuring boar''s head and brawn - but how did we get to the Christmas food of today? Historian Annie Gray digs into the evolution of our festive meal, from the birth of the twelve-day celebration under Edward I and the the restoration of holiday splendour under Victoria to the present day.
Organised by festive dish and illustrated throughout, At Christmas We Feast is a delectable trip through time - stuffed full of classic recipes, doused with history and tradition, and sprinkled with the joy of the feasts of Christmas past.
